Azaad Exclusive has confirmed that Field Marshal Asim Munir is set to attend the Change of Command ceremony at the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) headquarters this week, signaling growing strategic cooperation and a fresh chapter in US-Pakistan relations under his leadership.
This will be the Field Marshal’s second official visit to the US in less than two months.
His previous trip included a high-profile luncheon at the White House hosted by President Donald Trump—an event widely seen as a diplomatic breakthrough and a reflection of Washington’s renewed outreach to Islamabad.
According to Azaad Exclusive sources, the Field Marshal’s participation in the CENTCOM event demonstrates Pakistan’s increasing visibility in strategic military circles and is part of a broader effort to reset ties between Islamabad and Washington after years of strained relations.
The CENTCOM Change of Command ceremony, held in Tampa, Florida, is a key fixture in the US military calendar. It marks the official transition of leadership, as the outgoing commander formally hands over responsibility to a newly appointed general.
The event draws top military figures from across CENTCOM’s operational theater—which includes the Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia—and underscores the strategic relevance of Pakistan within this domain.
Field Marshal Munir’s attendance reinforces Pakistan’s role as a central regional player, with his presence viewed in Washington as a sign of continuity and commitment in defense cooperation.
