MIT chief Ibrahim Kalin allegedly met Chief of General Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir and Asim Malik in Pakistan. No verified information is available about the date, city or agenda of the meeting, and no official statement on the meeting has been identified.
Ibrahim Kalin’s previous participation with Asim Munir in high-level contacts held in Türkiye has been verified. On June 21, 2025, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan received Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar and Asim Munir; Kalin was also present at the meeting.
Kalin’s another contact with Asim Munir took place in Ankara on July 14, 2026. Kalin is also alleged to have attended the meeting at which Erdoğan received Asim Munir. These contacts are among the verified examples showing that high-level talks between Türkiye and Pakistan have continued on political, defense and security issues.
On August 31, 2026, Türkiye’s Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler met with Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff and Defence Forces Commander, in Türkiye. Asim Munir has therefore emerged as the Pakistani figure who has recently held contacts in Türkiye with the president and senior officials responsible for defense.
Statements from the Presidency of the National Intelligence Organization or Pakistani authorities would be important for verifying the claim about the meeting in Pakistan. The available information is insufficient to establish that Kalin traveled to Pakistan or met Asim Munir and Asim Malik there; the alleged contact therefore remains pending verification.
