- Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Pakistan's Army Chief, arrived in Washington, D.C. this past Sunday to begin a five-day official visit focused on strengthening military and strategic cooperation with the United States.
- Munir’s visit followed his recent elevation to the highest military rank by the Shehbaz Sharif government amid ongoing regional tensions involving India and the Middle East.
- During his visit, members and followers of Imran Khan’s political movement held protests outside Munir’s hotel, demanding the return of full democracy in Pakistan and chanting slogans such as “shame on you, mass murderer.”
- The White House refuted earlier reports suggesting that Munir received an invitation to participate in the June 14 Washington Military Parade celebrating the US Army’s 250th anniversary, emphasizing that no foreign military officials were included in the event.
