Overview

• Pakistan’s prime minister is set to deliver his UNGA speech on September 26 in New York.
• Pakistani outlets report a likely Trump–Sharif meeting on September 25 on the UNGA sidelines, but both Washington and Islamabad have yet to confirm it.
• Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir is expected to accompany Shehbaz Sharif, underscoring the military’s prominent role in Pakistan’s foreign engagements.
• Reports indicate a broad agenda that could include flood relief, trade and investment, India–Pakistan tensions, counterterrorism, and fallout from an Israeli strike on Qatar.
• Any meeting would follow Trump’s June White House lunch with Munir and his disputed claim of brokering May’s India–Pakistan ceasefire, with some media also citing unverified Qatar and Saudi involvement in facilitating the talks.
