In what is being seen as a major diplomatic step for Pakistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to meet U.S. President Donald Trump on September 25, during the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

Sources say the meeting will also include Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, and comes with the consultation and support of Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

The agenda is expected to be wide-ranging — from humanitarian challenges such as Pakistan’s flood recovery, to the global repercussions of the Israeli attack on Qatar, as well as the Pakistan-India situation.

Diplomatic insiders confirm that both Doha and Riyadh strongly back this engagement.

This possible meeting marks a continuation of improving Pakistan-U.S. ties, particularly following President Trump’s role in mediating peace after the Pakistan-India conflict in May.

More recently, Islamabad and Washington have deepened cooperation in trade, economic development, counter-terrorism, and regional peace.

Just this month, Pakistan secured $500 million investment from the United States in its critical minerals sector.

A fresh trade agreement between the two countries is also set to boost bilateral trade, reduce tariffs, and expand opportunities in energy, investment, and sustainable growth — initiatives that directly impact the lives of ordinary citizens.

Field Marshal Asim Munir’s recent high-level visits to the U.S., including rare direct talks with President Trump, underscore the growing trust and partnership.

Both sides appear committed not only to strengthening state-to-state ties, but also to working together for peace, stability, and prosperity in the wider region.
