What happened?
A delegation of Harvard Business School students on an international study tour met with Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, in a formal briefing held in Islamabad. The group, comprising students from several countries, discussed a range of topics including security, leadership and possibilities for academic‑military collaboration.

Why does it matter?

Follow‑up meetings are expected to explore concrete projects, such as case‑study collaborations on logistics, supply‑chain resilience and counter‑terrorism economics, which could benefit Pakistani universities and the armed forces alike.
