America Pakistan Relation and India: US President Donald Trump is about to have lunch with Field Marshal Asim Munir, Army Chief of Pakistan. This meeting is taking place at a time when tension between India and Pakistan is at its peak. This meeting has raised many questions in India. Especially when India has firmly placed its zero tolerance policy against terrorism on the global platform. America itself has suffered the pain of terrorism. On many occasions, its officials have criticized Pakistan for giving protection to terrorism. On the other hand, America also describes India as its strategic partner. In such a situation, the question arises that why is America giving so much importance to the army chief of Pakistan? Is there any cheating with India?
There is a stir in India due to the news of Munir’s visit to Washington. The first White House had clarified that no foreign military leader was invited to the 250th anniversary parade of the US Army held on 14 June, but now the meeting of Trump and Munir has raised new questions.
Asim Munir is on a tour of America.
Why America is calling Pakistan
There can be many possible reasons for this meeting. First, the US has recently described Pakistan as a great partner in the anti -terrorism fight. Commander General Michael Kurilla, US Central Command (Central Command), praised actions against Pakistan’s ISIS-Khorasan, especially for the arrest of a leading terrorist of the attack on Kabul’s Abbey Gate. Second, Pakistan’s deep partnership with China, especially Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) are a matter of concern for America. Munir’s visit is being seen by America as an attempt to bring Pakistan in its favor, so that it can balance the influence of China.
Apart from this, a cryptocurrency deal has been done recently. This includes the World Liberty Financial, a company associated with the Trump family. There are reports of Munir’s direct participation in this deal, which has increased doubt between India and Washington. Some analysts believe that the US wants to strengthen its position in Central Asia by strengthening economic and security relations with Pakistan. This has become more important viewing Iran-Israel tension. Pakistan has openly supported Iran.
India’s concern
This meeting for India is worrying for many reasons. India is worried about Munir’s inflammatory rhetoric about Kashmir and his role in promoting terrorism. Second America has been proposing arbitration on Kashmir issue. India has repeatedly rejected it. With this meeting of this Munir, the Kashmir issue can again come into the discussion. India has clarified that Kashmir is a bilateral issue and third party can have no role in it.
America’s strategy
Munir’s visit is being seen as a change in America’s regional strategy. Experts believe that the US wants to convert relations with Pakistan into economic and resource-based partnerships from security. Topics such as cryptocurrency and important minerals can be on the agenda of this meeting. However, Pakistan’s support for Iran and its deep partnership with China can create complications for America.
