Burgenstock: US Vice President JD Vance on Sunday generated significant online traction after making a light-hearted reference to two "very, very important" Indian and Pakistpeople in his life - his wife Usha Vance and Pakistani Army chief Asim Munir, on the sidelines of the US-Iran diplomatic deliberations in Switzerland.
Addressing the media at the alpine resort of Burgenstock following sessions with Iranian officials aimed at establishing a durable regional settlement, Vance detailed a personal anecdote regarding his interactions with the Pakistani leadership in Islamabad.
"Since Field Marshal Asim Munir welcomed us with the (Pakistani) Prime Minister (Shehbaz Sharif) in Islamabad, I have joked that I have two very, very important people in my life. An Indian and a Pakistani. The Indian is my wife, and the Pakistani is Field Marshal Munir," Vance remarked.
