In what could be a significant diplomatic development, reports suggest that US President Donald Trump is scheduled to arrive in Islamabad on September 18, marking his first official visit to Pakistan.
Sources from local media claim that the visit is part of a broader South Asia tour, with a possible stop in India following his engagements in Pakistan. While the Pakistani Foreign Office has not yet officially confirmed the visit, preparations are reportedly underway behind the scenes.
If the trip goes ahead as planned, it will be the first visit by a sitting US president to Pakistan since 2006, when President George W. Bush visited the country.
The visit is expected to focus on regional security, economic cooperation, counterterrorism, and diplomatic ties. It follows a historic meeting in June between President Trump and Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, held in Washington.
Analysts believe the trip could mark a turning point in US-Pakistan relations, signaling a renewed interest in strengthening bilateral ties amidst shifting geopolitical dynamics in South Asia.
