Global Security in Focus: “Under Destruction”
The theme of MSC 2026, “Under Destruction,” addresses the fragmentation of the postwar international order. Field Marshal Munir is expected to engage with over 1,000 senior decision-makers, including 60 Heads of State and the largest-ever U.S. delegation, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Transnational Counter-Terrorism: Briefing European partners on Pakistan’s efforts against Fitna-al-Khawarij and the regional implications of the Afghan security vacuum.
-
Geopolitics of the Global South: Participating in roundtables focused on balancing trade and security in an era of “bulldozer politics.”

A New Era of Military Diplomacy
This visit follows the Field Marshal’s recent promotion to the five-star rank, a status that has solidified his role as Pakistan’s primary interlocutor on the global stage. His participation in Munich follows successful missions to Riyadh and Jakarta, signaling a robust effort to align Pakistan’s security interests with both traditional Western allies and emerging partners in the Global South.
“Pakistan remains a pivotal state in ensuring regional stability,” a senior military source noted. “The Field Marshal’s engagements in Munich will focus on a collaborative approach to shared global threats, from cyber-warfare to nuclear risk mitigation.”
