Amid growing escalation in the Middle East, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir has reaffirmed that Pakistan continues to play a responsible and proactive role in mitigating regional tensions and promoting cooperative security frameworks, the military’s media wing said on Friday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the army chief also provided a detailed exposition of Pakistan’s balanced approach to regional and global conflicts, advocating for dialogue, diplomacy, and adherence to international law.
During his official visit to the United States, COAS Munir remarked this while holding a comprehensive and candid exchange with senior scholars, analysts, policy experts, and representatives of leading international media outlets in Washington DC.
The interaction with prominent US think tanks and representatives of the strategic affairs institutions, provided an opportunity to articulate Pakistan’s principled stance on key regional and global issues, and to deepen understanding of the country’s strategic outlook.
The army chief is on a week-long visit to the US, which has come in the backdrop of heightened tension in the Middle East involving an ongoing war between Israel and Iran triggered by the former’s attack on Tehran and followed by the latter’s retaliation.
