COAS engages in diplomatic, community outreach in US
Anwar Iqbal Published December 20, 2023WASHINGTON: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir engaged with US scholars and foreign policy experts in Washington on Tuesday on the last leg of his week-long visit to the United States.
The meeting covered the regional security situation in South Asia and economic stability in Pakistan, which some of the participants thought was linked to political stability and security in the country.
On Monday, the army chief visited the headquarters of the US Central Command (Centcom) in Tampa, Florida, and met with the commander, Gen Michael Erik Kurilla.
A statement issued by the army’s media wing noted that the two leaders discussed “matters of shared interests, particularly cooperation in regional security matters” during the meeting.
The talks focused on “avenues of joint training and reiterated the need for enhancing training interactions between Centcom and Pakistan Army,” the statement added.
The COAS also visited Centcom Joint Operations Centre during his stay in Tampa.
He flew to Tampa from New York where he met the UN secretary general for talks focusing on the situation in India-held Kashmir and Gaza.
In his visit to Washington last week, the army chief met a number of high-ranking US military and civilian officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin.
His engagements at the Pentagon highlighted the importance of the US-Pakistan partnership in regional security and defence cooperation.
In a press briefing on Monday, US State Department Spokesperson Matt Miller spoke about the army chief’s visit and underscored the longstanding alliance between the US and Pakistan.
He pointed out that Pakistan remained a major non-Nato ally and a Nato partner, which underlines the country’s significance for Washington.
Gen Munir’s discussions in Washington centered on “reinforcing regional security measures and defence collaboration,” Mr Miller added.
The briefing, however, didn’t escape questions about domestic politics in Pakistan, prompting Mr Miller to emphasise the US commitment to supporting free and fair elections in Pakistan.
He reiterated the US stance of “engaging with leaders elected by Pakistani people” while refraining from taking sides among political parties.
Beyond the official diplomatic engagements, Gen Munir extended a charm offensive to the Pakistani diaspora in the US during a community dinner hosted by the Pakistan embassy.
Attendees, representing diverse backgrounds, including investors, professionals, and academics, engaged in an open and frank discussion with the COAS.
Gen Munir’s US visit has not only strengthened diplomatic ties but has also fostered positive engagement with the Pakistani diaspora.
The emphasis on security for investments and his encouraging words towards the diaspora highlight the multifaceted approach of the visit, combining diplomatic and community outreach efforts.

Can we all agree to not post any articles of anytype on the COAS here ?!?
Imagine being a USA Scholar, and being forced to listen to "him" because your boss told you that you "had to go or else" ...
Not really. US scholars listen to all points of view, but the ones coming from people who have absolutely no legal or moral standing don't get much traction, that is for sure.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we have a grade22 equivalent servant of the state, with 0 legal or moral authority, deciding and selling the future of 220 million people.
We had a treasonous oath breaker buckling under one threat over a phone call and death and destruction followed us for 20 years. The one before him dragged us into the Afghan war. The one before him broke the country. The one before him used his stinking mouth against mother of the nation.
Now that we were getting back on track, one genius decides it's ok to kick out Afghans in a disgraceful manner and destroy the goodwill of 4 decades. Stirring up crap unnecessarily and heating things up so we get dragged in yet another bloody cycle. And then these people say politicians are to be blammed.

A very long time ago Pink was not just for banned members, there was a time the original PDF had paid subscribers who's handle was highlighted in a pinkish colour, if my memory serves me well.
Lol! The man opens thread after thread. It's like a Pakistani version of chat GPT but doesn't need any direction. Just let him loose. We love the guy. So hence the pink.
Oh, so you were there to know this so definitively? So what was the COAS told to do next?
No offense Boss, but "The Legend"? More like "CtrlA/CtrlC/CtrlV Master Extraordinaire".
