Pakistan Considers Constitutional Changes and Expanded Military Role Under Asim MunirPreviousNext

Pakistan's military, led by Field Marshal Asim Munir, is reportedly planning significant constitutional and governance changes, including a shift to a presidential system and expanded military roles in state affairs. Proposals under discussion also involve creating new provinces and adjusting financial resource distribution. These moves aim to formalize the military's influence amid political and economic challenges. Additionally, Munir's ambitions may extend his control over Pakistan's security and military strategy for the next decade, with efforts to enhance defense partnerships internationally.
