Suggestions for doing so include the U.S. approving a free trade treaty and appropriating more aid for the millions of Pakistanis affected by recent flooding in the nation. Pakistan's recent achievements are also highlighted, including forming a democratically elected government, criminalizing violence against women, and developing a free press.
