Asim Munir becoming Field Marshal bad for Pakistan, and regional stability: Lisa Curtis | Latitude

In this episode of Latitude, senior journalist and host Nirupama Subramanian speaks to Lisa Curtis, a foreign policy and national security expert at the Washington, DC-based think tank Center for a New American Security, where she heads the Indo-Pacific Security Program. Curtis, who has worked earlier in the US government for many years in important positions, tells Subramanian about how US President Donald Trump's recent remarks on the India-Pakistan border tensions and the resolution of the Kashmir dispute might impact India-US relations. She also talks at length about why the elevation of Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir to Field Marshal does not bode well for Pakistan's democracy and for regional stability, among other things. In President Trump's first term, Lisa Curtis served as his deputy assistant and as a senior director at the National Security Council for South and Central Asia. During that time, she was a key contributor to the Indo-Pacific Strategic Framework. She coordinated policies relating to the Quad and also to policies strengthening the US-India Partnership. Context: In the wake of Operation Sindoor, US President Donald Trump has claimed repeatedly that he mediated or brokered the ceasefire between India and Pakistan on May 10, 2025. He has also spoken about the US helping out both India and Pakistan to arrive at a resolution of their problems, including the Kashmir issue. India holds dear the principle that there is no room for a third party in resolving any of its problems with Pakistan. The Indian government has issued terse, structured statements contradicting President Trump. The claims and denials come at a time when India and the US are negotiating a trade deal. Meanwhile, Pakistan's Army chief General Asim Munir was promoted to Field Marshal on May 20.
