In addition, the plan includes renovation and possible redevelopment. The U.S. General Services Administration will support these efforts. Negotiations took place under the guidance of special envoy Steve Witkoff. As a result, both parties finalized the MoU after several discussions.
Key Officials at the Signing
Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb signed the document for his country. Meanwhile, GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst represented the United States. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif attended the signing ceremony. Therefore, the agreement gained strong political backing.
Economic and Development Impact
The MoU creates a structured review process for technical and commercial aspects. This framework ensures transparency and shared economic benefits. For example, institutional coordination will reduce regulatory risks. Moreover, it will improve clarity on zoning and municipal rules.
Located in Manhattan, the hotel holds major strategic value. Hence, authorities aim to maximize its financial potential through this initiative. The main goal remains privatization under a broader strategy.
