      Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Army Chief, held a two-hour, one-on-one meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House on June 19, 2025. This meeting was unprecedented and significant given the rare direct engagement between a US President and a Pakistani Army Chief without other senior civilian officials present.

      Key discussion points included:

      • Regional Peace and Stability: Both leaders lauded efforts for regional peace and stability. Trump specifically thanked Munir for his role in facilitating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after a four-day conflict in May, which Trump had previously claimed credit for brokering.
      • Counter-terrorism Cooperation: They reaffirmed commitment to continued collaboration in counter-terrorism efforts, with Trump appreciating Pakistan’s robust cooperation in this field.
      • Iran-Israel Tensions: A significant portion of the discussion focused on the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. Both Munir and Trump emphasized the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Trump acknowledged Pakistan’s unique understanding of Iran, stating, “Pakistan understands Iran better than many others, and they are clearly not pleased with the current tensions.” Munir reportedly urged Trump not to involve the US in the conflict and to seek a ceasefire.
      • Bilateral Economic Cooperation: Discussions spanned avenues for expanding bilateral cooperation in various domains, including:
        • Economic development
        • Mines and minerals
        • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
        • Energy
        • Cryptocurrency
        • Emerging technologies Trump expressed keen interest in forging a mutually beneficial trade partnership with Pakistan.
      • India-Pakistan Relations: Munir conveyed Pakistan’s appreciation for Trump’s role in the recent India-Pakistan ceasefire and discussed the importance of dialogue to resolve issues between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Trump also highlighted the need for a trade agreement with Pakistan.

      Agreements and Outcomes:

      While no formal, publicly released agreements were detailed by the White House, the Pakistani military’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), indicated several positive outcomes:

      • Renewed Commitment to Counter-terrorism: Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to continued collaboration in this area.
      • Exploration of Trade and Economic Partnerships: There was a clear indication of mutual interest in expanding trade and cooperation in emerging technologies and resource sectors.
      • Emphasis on Peaceful Resolution of Conflicts: Both leaders stressed the importance of dialogue and peaceful resolution for regional conflicts, particularly concerning Iran and Israel.
      • Invitation to Trump: Field Marshal Munir extended an invitation to Donald Trump, on behalf of the Government of Pakistan, for an official visit to Pakistan at a mutually convenient date.
      • Strengthening Bilateral Ties: The meeting was described as a significant milestone, marking a new chapter in strengthening the longstanding Pakistan-US partnership, built on shared objectives of peace, stability, and prosperity.

      The meeting suggests a potential strategic reset in US-Pakistan relations, driven by Washington’s search for allies in the context of regional tensions and Pakistan’s economic challenges.
