British newspaper Financial Times has described the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir as one of the most effective strategic leaders to emerge amid rapid changes in the global order. “First prize for adjusting to the tempo of Trump’s casual approach to the world has to go to Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir,” according to an analysis written by journalist Alec Russell in the FT. The report notes Field Marshal Munir as a leading example of a successful “multi-aligner”. “He [ Field Marshal] is the very model of a middle power multi-aligner, skipping from Washington to Beijing, Riyadh to Tehran.”
