Munir was seen in several high-profile summits/meetings alongside Sharif, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in China last month.
This meeting will come months after Trump met Munir, marking the first time a US president had hosted the head of Pakistan’s army, widely regarded as the most powerful figure in the country, at the White House unaccompanied by senior Pakistani civilian officials.
“Reason I had him here was I wanted to thank him for not going into the war and ending it… Prime Minister Modi just left a little while ago, and we are working on a trade deal with India and also with Pakistan… I am so happy. Two very smart people decided not to keep going with the war. Those are two big nuclear powers. I was honoured to meet him,” Trump said after meeting Munir.
