A delegation of World Liberty Financial, led by Chief Executive Officer Zachary Witkoff, called on Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, the military's media wing reported on Wednesday.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the meeting reflected the growing interest of international private investment groups in Pakistan’s evolving economic landscape, and also signals rising global confidence in Pakistan's fintech potential. It aims to strengthen financial inclusion and cross-border digital finance.

Witkoff highlighted the immense economic potential Pakistan holds and lauded the efforts of Pakistan’s leadership in embracing futuristic technologies to realise the full possibilities of its economic prowess, stated the ISPR.

Field Marshal Munir welcomed the exchange of views and emphasised Pakistan’s commitment to economic stability, investor confidence, and enabling an environment conducive to responsible private sector participation in national development, the statment concluded.

Earlier, Pakistan signed an agreement with a company affiliated with World Liberty Financial, the main crypto business linked to the family of US President Donald Trump, to explore the use of a dollar-linked stablecoin for cross-border payments.

The Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority said it signed a memorandum of understanding with SC Financial Technologies, which it described as an affiliated entity of World Liberty Financial. The agreement will allow dialogue and technical engagement around 'emerging digital payment architectures'.
