Former U.S. President Donald Trump also praised Pakistan’s role in the fight against terrorism, calling its contribution “critical to regional stability.”

Observers believe that global acknowledgment of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir’s leadership demonstrates how Pakistan’s military diplomacy is reshaping its image as a reliable international partner.
