Bilateral relations between Pakistan and the United States are stable and even if there is a problem between the civilian government of Pakistan and the United States, the GHQ and the Pentagon do not let it affect their relations, because both The relations between the countries on security issues are very deep and no one considers any disruption in their interests.

General Asim Munir went on his first visit to the United States as Army Chief under these conditions when the relations between the two countries have been restored, but what will be the future scenario for these relations is not clear.

For decades, the relationship between Pakistan and the United States has been based on the situation in Afghanistan, but now after the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan, this foundation has lost its influence and Pakistan wishes that no building should be built on this foundation again, and the United States and Pakistan. He no longer wants to view his relations with the US from a security point of view only, but he wants to keep the business relations dominant in it.

During the visit of the Army Chief to America, the discussion on Pakistan's economic issues was of prime importance. The Army Chief is taking direct interest in the economic development of the country, so it is expected to discuss these topics with him.

The Biden administration wants to adopt a trade and investment policy with Pakistan in order to solve the problems that Pakistan's economy suffered in the last five or six years, but due to the uncertain conditions of Pakistan's economy, it is hesitant. It is heard that the American officials would have repeated this position before the Army Chief that despite China's investment in Pakistan, Pakistan is facing a huge trade deficit from China, but the lack of wealth in Pakistan is due to the lack of capital and business. Due to the balance, China is moving and no effort is being made by China to eliminate this imbalance.

Due to BRI's flagship project CPEC, Pakistan has become a frontline state for China, although BRI has not been able to raise the flags of success that China expected. American officials also said that twenty-one percent of Pakistan's total exports are to America and this volume can be increased further.

Another major issue is the ongoing terrorism by Afghanistan on Pakistan. The United States and Pakistan have a common principled approach to terrorism, but analyzing the internal situation in Afghanistan, there is a clear difference in the perspectives or interests of the two.

Pakistan is deeply troubled by the terrorism of the outlawed TTP and legitimately believes that the Afghan Taliban are not giving any importance to Pakistani interests and concerns in this regard and Pakistan needs American support in this regard, but America's problem is Afghanistan. I do not ban TTP nor does he have any problem with his actions.

America's problem in Afghanistan is with the "Islamic State of Khorasan", which we know as Daesh Khorasan, and the notion is becoming increasingly established in the American administration that the Afghan Taliban government is very effective against Daesh Khorasan. is taking action and the Afghan Taliban government is not providing any opportunity to complain to America. The situation for Pakistan is completely opposite. No one in Kabul seems ready to listen to our grievances. Their redressal is a far-fetched thing. In this visit, the Army Chief discussed common interests, which are common strategies. To be obtained from, felt trying.

America also disagrees with the strategy of repatriation of citizens living illegally in Pakistan. The United States says that the Afghan Taliban have not been democratically elected, and there will be public pressure by adopting such a strategy. The strategy should not be effective because it would create a perception in the world that America has failed to protect its friends.

There is also news that the US has offered to help again on "certain matters" and what the ramifications of its acceptance of this offer may be at the local level in Pakistan are being discussed by Pakistani officials. Under review.

Pakistan has a principled position in the recent tragedy of Palestine and Pakistan is also evaluating the strategy of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in this regard. It is believed that it has American support and America should reconsider this attitude because it is not only a problem for Pakistan, but the concept of keeping all eggs in one basket at any time and for anyone. It can lead to loss, now the American will be able to understand all this or not, his attitude will decide in the coming time.
