A US delegation led by co-chairs Shamila N. Chaudhary and Dr Colin F. Jackson visited Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi on Monday. The delegation, which is reviewing the United States' 20-year engagement in Afghanistan, acknowledged Pakistan's "longstanding role and sacrifices during the conflict in Afghanistan," according to Pakistan's military media affairs.
The US Congress established the Afghanistan War Commission in 2021 to review US decisions related to the war in Afghanistan from June 2001 to August 2021. The US withdrew its forces from Afghanistan on Aug 30, 2021, ending a 20-year war. During the conflict, 800,000 US servicemembers served, with 2,238 dying and nearly 21,000 wounded. Over 40,000 civilians were killed, and 77,000 wounded, according to the United Nations mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).
Field Marshal Munir shared Pakistan's perspective on the regional security environment and developments in Afghanistan, emphasizing the need to incorporate a regional perspective and Pakistan's experience in assessing the strategic, diplomatic, and operational dimensions of the conflict.
