After US General's praise for Pakistan, Asim Munir invited to US military parade
PTC News Desk: The Commander of the United States Central Command (Centcom), General Michael Kurilla while praising Pak Army described them as a "phenomenal partner in the counterterrorism world", highlighting Islamabad's role in operations against ISIS-Khorasan.
"They are in an active counterterrorism fight right now, and they have been a phenomenal partner in the counterterrorism world," he said about Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's Chief of Staff General Asim Munir is all set to visit the United States this week to attend the 250th anniversary celebrations of the US Army in Washington DC, according to the sources.
The scheduled visit has triggered sharp reactions across India. Congress communications head Jairam Ramesh called it "another huge diplomatic setback for India".
"This is the man who spoke in such incendiary and provocative language just before the Pahalgam terror attacks. What is the US really up to? This is another huge diplomatic setback for India," Ramesh said in an X post on Wednesday.
Besides, Munir's sheduled visit in Washington is also being met with criticism in own country.
"Let the White House know that any deal with this government is not acceptable to the people of Pakistan," PTI’s Secretary for Overseas Affairs, Sajjad Burki, tweeted. Burki urged Pakistani-Americans to join a protest outside the Pakistan Embassy in Washington on June 14.
