Pakistan’s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, is set to make his second visit to the United States within just two months, signaling a deepening of military and strategic ties between Islamabad and Washington. This trip includes attending the retirement ceremony of CENTCOM Commander General Michael Kurilla—recently honored by Pakistan—underscoring mutual respect and continuing defense collaboration. In June, Munir met privately with former President Donald Trump at the White House for an extended lunch, where discussions ranged from counterterrorism to trade acceleration and future exchanges. These recurring high-level engagements reflect renewed U.S. interest in Pakistan amidst complex regional dynamics, including heightened tensions with India, evolving U.S.-India relations, and broader security shifts in South Asia.
