What was the reason for Trump’s smiles while pointing finger at FM Asim Munir in Devos
The most interesting and striking aspect of the event was the moment when President Donald Trump specifically pointed to Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir from among the participants in the hall and welcomed him with a smile.
There are several important factors behind President Trump’s warm attitude as during the event, Pakistan’s political and military leadership were given special protocol and were the centre of attention of the global media and leaders.
The joint presence of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir sent a message to the world that Pakistan’s civil and military leadership are completely on the same page on the country’s foreign policy and global peace agenda. According to global observers, Pakistan’s inclusion in this important board is a result of its key role in the region and its successful “soldier-diplomacy” in recent years.
President Trump has repeatedly described Asim Munir as “my favorite Field Marshal” and a “brave warrior” in recent months. He is appreciative of his professional skills. President Trump specifically thanked Pakistan in his address for its important role in reducing tensions with India in South Asia and in the peace process in Gaza.
A prestigious global event was held in the city of Davis, Switzerland, in which US President Donald Trump formally signed the charter of his new global peace mission, the “Board of Peace.” The event was attended by heads of 22 countries selected from around the world, including Pakistan, represented by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.
This institution was established primarily under President Trump’s vision for the reconstruction of Gaza and the end of wars around the world, and the inclusion of Pakistan among its founding members is a testament to the country’s growing importance on the global stage.
President Trump traditionally favors military figures who have decisive power, and he sees Field Marshal Asim Munir as a “strong partner” in establishing global peace.
The impact of the event has further strengthened Pakistan’s position internationally after the event. Becoming part of the “Board of Peace” will not only give Pakistan the right to vote in global decisions but also Pakistan’s role in the reconstruction of Gaza and other global development projects will be prominent.
This special importance given by President Trump is being seen as the beginning of a new and happy chapter in Pak-US relations
