Field Marshal Asim Munir opens new diplomatic avenues for Pakistan: FT

Web Desk: British newspaper Financial Times says Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defense Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir has emerged as the most influential strategic leader in the changing global system.

The daily newspaper described Field Marshal Asim Munir as an expert in multi-dimensional foreign policy.

The changing global politics has opened a new yet challenging era for middle powers. Field Marshal Asim Munir is a clear example of a successful multi-dimensional strategist for middle powers. 

Financial Times recognized that Pakistan’s leadership has been active in maintaining simultaneous relations with Washington, Beijing, Riyadh and Tehran.

It stated that Field Marshal Asim Munir has created new diplomatic opportunities for Pakistan in the rapidly changing global politics. Timely cordiality and a soft diplomatic approach with President Trump proved to be effective.

The Financial Times further noted that Pakistan’s diplomatic success has disappointed India. For India, the middle power game has proven to be more difficult than expected.

It stated that India has been unable to align with the changing global conditions and President Trump’s style. This diplomatic failure has led India to face challenges in its middle power strategy.
