Islamabad, July 17, 2025: The Foreign Office on Thursday said it has no information regarding a possible visit by U.S. President Donald Trump to Pakistan later this year.
Responding to media queries, Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan told Reuters that he was unaware of any scheduled visit by the U.S. president. “At this stage, we have no confirmation of such a visit,” he said.
His remarks came in response to reports circulating in international media suggesting that President Trump may visit Islamabad on September 18 for high-level meetings with Pakistan’s civilian and military leadership.
According to a British news agency, if confirmed, the visit would mark the first by a sitting U.S. president to Pakistan in over two decades. The agency also reported that Trump is expected to visit the United Kingdom from September 17 to 19 at the invitation of King Charles III.
Ties between Washington and Islamabad have warmed in recent weeks, particularly following last month’s unprecedented meeting between President Trump and Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, at the White House.
In that meeting, the two leaders reportedly discussed regional security issues, including the Iran-Israel conflict and a potential war between Pakistan and India. President Trump credited Field Marshal Munir with playing a decisive role in defusing tensions with India, calling him “instrumental” in preventing a full-scale conflict.
Trump told reporters he had also spoken to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the de-escalation and praised both leaders for averting war. He added that Pakistan’s understanding of the evolving situation in Iran was “better than most,” and said he was “honored” to host Munir in Washington.
Despite these developments, the Foreign Office maintains that no official communication has been made regarding a Trump visit to Islamabad.
