Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir met with a delegation from the US-based defence and infrastructure company POWERUS at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi on Wednesday. The meeting, led by POWERUS delegation head Robert Bret Velicovich, covered defence technology, procurement, and potential areas of cooperation. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the discussions focused on opportunities for collaboration in defence procurement, production, and capacity building.

During the meeting, Field Marshal Munir highlighted the importance of technological innovation and advanced solutions in strengthening national security and resilience. The POWERUS company builds hardware and unified systems architecture for high-consequence environments. Both sides expressed interest in further developing engagement in areas of mutual interest.

In recent months, the US and Pakistan have engaged in other defence-related activities, including Exercise Inspired Gambit in January, which focused on combined infantry skills and tactics, and counterterrorism operations. In December, the US approved the sale of advanced technology and upgrade packages for Pakistan's F-16 fighter aircraft, valued at approximately $686 million, according to Dawn.
