Praise for Pakistan Army chief
Vance also praised Munir’s role in recent engagements, saying he had spoken to him more than almost anyone else over the past three months.
“We would not have been here without his statesmanship and military leadership. He has shown himself to be a great diplomat,” he added.
Remarks gain traction online
The comments quickly spread across social media, fuelled by Vance’s frequent references to his wife, whose family roots trace back to Andhra Pradesh, and his earlier public praise for both Munir and Pakistan’s leadership.
‘Historic’ US–Iran talks underway
At the start of the Switzerland talks, Vance described the meeting as a “historic moment”, saying Washington aimed to “turn over a new leaf” in relations with Tehran.
He said the goal was to reset ties and explore whether the region could move towards long-term stability through diplomacy.
Focus on nuclear issue and regional stability
Vance noted that the discussions marked an unusually high-level engagement between the US and Iran, with talks centred on Iran’s nuclear programme and broader regional tensions.
The US delegation said the aim was to prevent renewed conflict, ensure stability in the Middle East, and keep key maritime routes such as the Strait of Hormuz open as negotiations continue.
