Pak Army Chief General Asim Munir, recently promoted to Field Marshal, will attend the US Army’s 250th‑year parade in Washington on June 14, the same day as former President Trump’s 80th birthday as per Pakistani sources. At the event, he’s expected to meet the State Department and Pentagon officials. His U‑turn follows glowing praise by US CENTCOM head Gen Michael Kurilla, who lauded Pakistan as a “phenomenal partner” in counter‑ISIS‑K operations. In India, Congress’s Jairam Ramesh called the invite “a huge diplomatic setback,” citing Munir’s inflammatory remarks ahead of the Pahalgam terror attack. Meanwhile, the Pakistani diaspora plans protests in DC. (PC: India Today)
