Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir poses for a photograph with former US Central Command Commander General Michael Kurilla.(X-@ShabbirDar5) The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) 'is undertaking an official visit to the United States', the army said in a statement released here. The army chief engaged in high-level interactions with senior political and military leadership as well as members of the Pakistani diaspora, according to the statement. No details were shared about his stay in the US, and it was also not clear when he arrived. In Tampa, Munir attended the Retirement Ceremony of outgoing US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander General Michael E. Kurilla, and the Change of Command Ceremony, marking the assumption of command by Admiral Brad Cooper. Field Marshal Munir lauded General Kurilla's exemplary leadership and his invaluable contributions to strengthening bilateral military cooperation and extended his best wishes to Admiral Cooper, expressing confidence in continued collaboration to address shared security challenges, the statement said. He also met with Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, where matters of mutual professional interest were discussed.

During an interactive session with the Pakistani diaspora, Munir urged them to remain confident in Pakistan's bright future and to actively contribute to attracting investments. The diaspora reaffirmed its commitment to support Pakistan's progress and development, according to the army. In June, Munir travelled to the US on a rare five-day trip during which he attended a private luncheon with President Donald Trump, an unprecedented gesture typically reserved for visiting heads of state or government. That meeting culminated in Trump's announcement of enhanced US-Pakistan cooperation in various fields, including an oil deal. Munir's visit came just over a month after the US general described Pakistan as a 'phenomenal partner' in counterterrorism efforts during a congressional hearing, where he also praised Pakistan's role 'in promoting peace and stability' in the region.

Op Sindoor Showcases India's Indigenous Might To Crush Enemies: Rajnath Singh
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said Operation Sindoor was a testament to India's ability to crush its enemies using indigenous capabilities, asserting that the country would not spare those who challenge its sovereignty. Laying the foundation stone of BEML's Greenfield Rail Manufacturing facility BRAHMA in Umariya, Madhya Pradesh, the Defence Minister described the recent military operation as a 'befitting reply' to the 'heinous and cowardly' terrorist attack on civilians in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. 'We do not provoke anyone, but those who provoke us will not be spared,' he said. The Defence Minister emphasised that the success of Operation Sindoor reflected India's growing self-reliance and self-confidence in the defence sector. 'The Armed Forces effectively utilised indigenous equipment, which played a pivotal role in the operation's success. India was able to reach this position only because it has pledged to become Aatmanirbhar in the defence sector,' he said. Crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for transforming the defence landscape, Singh noted that India is now manufacturing world-class equipment domestically and supplying it to friendly nations. 'Our defence production and exports are increasing at an unprecedented pace and have touched record figures. This is the new defence sector of the new India,' he said. It may be recalled that, in the Financial Year 2024-25, annual defence production soared to an all-time high figure of Rs 1.51 lakh crore and defence exports touched a record Rs 23,622 crore,' he said. Highlighting the nation's economic progress, Singh said India's economy is growing at about 6.5 per cent annually and is on course to become the world's third-largest economy. He reiterated the government's resolve to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047, with defence self-reliance forming a crucial pillar of national security and economic strength. Referring to the BRAHMA project, Singh said initiatives like this are essential for building the technological and industrial base needed for both defence and civilian sectors. He lauded BEML for its role in strengthening the country's mobility solutions and urged a greater focus on research and development.
