WASHINGTON, Jun 18 (Alliance News): US President Donald Trump will host a special luncheon in honor of Pakistan’s Field Marshal General Asim Munir today at the White House, with key discussions expected on bilateral ties and the escalating Iran-Israel conflict.
The luncheon will take place in the Cabinet Room at 1:00 PM local time and will be attended by senior US officials including Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Hanker, according to White House sources.
While the luncheon itself will be closed to the press, a joint media appearance by President Trump and Field Marshal Asim Munir is anticipated afterward, the White House spokesperson confirmed.
During the visit, Field Marshal Munir is also scheduled to hold separate meetings with US Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense, with a particular focus on regional security dynamics and military cooperation.
The high-profile meeting underscores the growing strategic relevance of Pakistan amid heightened tensions in the Middle East. Analysts believe the visit sends a strong diplomatic signal to adversaries that Pakistan continues to be a key stakeholder in global security and regional stability.
