Pakistan's New 'General Manager'

This episode, we discuss the appointment of Pakistan's new army chief. After months of drama and debate, Gen. Asim Munir has taken the helm of the world's sixth-largest fighting force and only nuclear-armed Islamic military. But what exactly is the big deal in a general taking charge? Well, considering that the army's ruled Pakistan for over three decades and continues to influence its governance from behind the throne, the most powerful man in the country is the army chief, not the prime minister. So when the Pakistani military's top gun changes, the world takes notice. <a href="https://s.nikkei.com/3feonH8">Click here</a> or head to s.nikkei.com/3feonH8 to get 3 months of Nikkei Asia coverage for just $9.
