Bilawal sees COAS-Trump talks as positive step for relations

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party Chairman, Bilawal Bhutto

Zardari, hailed the upcoming meeting between Pakistan’s Field

Marshal Syed Asim Munir and US President Donald Trump as a

positive development for strengthening Pakistan-US relations.

In a statement posted on social media platform X, Bilawal said,

“Today’s meeting between Field Marshal Asim Munir and Donald

Trump is a step forward in improving bilateral ties between

Pakistan and the United States.”

He noted that the meeting comes at a significant time, as Trump

recently played a mediating role in brokering a ceasefire, following

which Pakistan achieved a decisive victory against India in a five-

day conflict.

The former Foreign Minister criticized India for rejecting peace

efforts and US diplomacy, stating, “Pakistan neither seeks

confrontation nor demands negotiations, but we acknowledge that

peace is in the best interest of both nations.”

Bilawal added that there is no military solution to the disputes,

calling India’s weaponisation of water resources and repression in

Kashmir “unacceptable.”

He further condemned India's politicisation of terrorism,

emphasising that the path forward lies in honest diplomacy, not in

denial or delay. Agencies
