Islamabad(The COW News Digital )During his official visit to the United States, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, held a significant and wide-ranging dialogue with prominent think tanks, global policy experts, senior scholars, and international media representatives in Washington D.C.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the engagement served as a key platform to articulate Pakistan’s principled stance on global and regional issues. Field Marshal Munir addressed a range of topics, including Pakistan’s security vision, its role in the global fight against terrorism, and ongoing operations such as “Ma’araka-e-Haq” and “Operation Bunyad-e-Marsous.”
He emphasized that Pakistan has paid an extraordinary price—both human and financial—while standing on the frontlines of the global war on terror. He further highlighted the growing use of terrorism as a tool of hybrid warfare by certain regional state actors, which he warned poses a serious threat to both regional and international peace.
Field Marshal Munir reaffirmed Pakistan’s firm commitment to promoting regional stability and a rules-based international order. He called for deeper international cooperation in areas such as security, counterterrorism, and economic development.
The Army Chief also presented Pakistan’s vast economic potential to the global community, particularly in sectors such as information technology, agriculture, mineral resources, and mining. He extended an open invitation to international investors for collaborative development and mutually beneficial partnerships.
Discussions also touched on the historical significance of the Pakistan-U.S. partnership. Field Marshal Munir noted that both nations share common interests in counterterrorism, regional security, and economic prosperity. He stressed the importance of expanding multidimensional cooperation built on mutual respect, strategic trust, and economic interdependence.
Explaining Pakistan’s neutral and balanced foreign policy, he reiterated the country’s support for diplomacy, dialogue, and adherence to international law as essential tools for resolving global conflicts. He underscored Pakistan’s ongoing role in promoting regional peace and a cooperative security framework.
Participants from U.S. think tanks, analysts, and media representatives appreciated the clarity, depth, and openness with which the Field Marshal presented Pakistan’s position. The session was widely seen as a meaningful step toward strengthening Pakistan-U.S. strategic dialogue and enhancing diplomatic transparency.
The interaction was hailed as a strong example of Pakistan’s commitment to peaceful coexistence and constructive international engagement.
