Скачать или смотреть Asim Munir to attend CENTCOM chief's farewell in second US trip in two months

Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, is scheduled to visit the United States later this week to attend the change of command ceremony at US Central Command (CENTCOM), marking the retirement of General Michael E. Kurilla.

This marks Munir’s second visit to Washington in less than two months, following a previous trip where he met with President Trump shortly after India took decisive action to dismantle terrorist infrastructure within Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

While it's yet to be confirmed whether another meeting with Trump will occur during this visit, the two leaders have engaged in dialogue in the past.

General Kurilla, who is stepping down, had publicly acknowledged Pakistan’s contributions to regional security, and Munir’s attendance at the ceremony reflects the mutual respect between the two militaries.

This was the first time in history that a US president has welcomed the military leader without senior Pakistani civilian officials present.
