South Asian country’s most powerful figure seeks bilateral reset after armed conflict with India and as US concern rises over its China ties

The Pakistani general is likely during his visit to travel to US Central Command’s headquarters in Florida, a source said.

The visit, reportedly made at the Trump administration’s invitation, is also expected to include high-level meetings at the State Department and the Pentagon.

While officials have kept the agenda under wraps, analysts have said Munir’s acceptance of the invitation indicates Islamabad’s wish to recalibrate its relationship with Washington amid increasing US-India strategic alignment and America’s growing concerns over China’s global footprint.
