The united front maintained by the military and civil establishment has reassured the people that Pakistan’s government is moving from a chaotic state to a more cohesive and cooperative one, working together towards the same goal: reforming Pakistan and making it the safe-haven that the founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah dreamed of.

Trump and Khan meeting
Trump, a real estate tycoon turned reality TV star, and PM Imran Khan, the World Cup-winning captain of Pakistan cricket team, both came to office after achieving fame away from politics and the personal chemistry between the two may be decisive.
“A lot will depend on the kind of mood that President Trump and indeed Prime Minister Imran Khan find themselves in”, Farzana Sheikh, an associate fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London told reporters. “Neither of them is known to be particularly predictable.”
The premier is expected to attend two sessions during his maiden visit to the White House since assuming office: a small group meeting and an extended meeting. The first meeting will be in the Oval Office and the second in the cabinet room.
