Linden Government Solutions has inked a pact to provide strategic consulting services to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
The six-month contract of the Houston-based firm went into effect April 15 and automatically renews for another six months upon mutual agreement by both parties.
Pakistan and US ties are strained over the Trump administration's plan to sell $155M in anti-ship missiles to India.
On April 17, Pakistan called the sale of missiles to its archrival "disturbing" and a move that would "destabilize" the region.
The arms deal follows Trump's high-profile 36-hour state visit to India in February in which he was feted by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi.
Linden president Stephen Payne, who has close ties with the Republican party, is leading the Pakistan account. He was a presidential advance man for George W. Bush and traveled with former VP Dick Cheney.
In 2019, Linden picked up a $2.1M contract with The Libyan National Army rebel group, which is headed by 75-year-old US citizen Khalifa Haftar.
That pact is with the Benghazi-based Decision Support Center, which says its goal is to achieve stability and democracy in war-torn Libya.
