Pakistani President Ayub Khan visits America - A rare video (1961)

- This is a rare video of Pakistan's Field Marshall Muhammad Ayub Khan's visit to the US in 1961 and the VVIP "treatment" given to him during his visit. Born on May 14, 1907 in Haripur, Ayub succeeded General Gracey as the second Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistan Army on January 17, 1951, and served as President of Pakistan from 1958-1969 following a bloodless coup. Ayub Khan approved U-2 spy plane flights, taking off from Pakistan, over the then Soviet Union in continuation of the policy of his predecessor, Suhrawardy, who had, in 1957, ceded to Eisenhower's request for establishing secret intelligence gathering facilities in Pakistan.
As a consequence, two top secret bases were established at Peshawar and Badaber during the "pre-satellite" intelligence gathering era when visual reconnaissance of nuclear assets was of critical importance to both world powers. These highly rewarding U-2 flights were able to unearth several hidden USSR nuclear launch facilities.
In the most infamous international incident of Ayub's Presidency, a Lockheed U-2 spy plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers that took off from Badber on May 1, 1960 was shot down (or disintegrated while evading a missile) inside the Soviet Union. Gary Powers was captured alive, and a huge international crisis ensued. This incident prompted a marked deterioration in relations between both superpowers. Gary Powers was later exchanged for Rudolf Abel (a Russian intelligence officer) on February 10, 1962.
During Ayub's Presidency, Pakistan achieved double digit economic growth rates for almost one decade, and many of his large national development projects (Dams, water reservoirs and soil reclamation) are still providing great benefit to the country. Ayub, therefore, remains one of the three Pakistani leaders (after Mr. M.A Jinnah and Liaqat Ali Khan) who provided a period of enduring remembrance and fond memories of his rule to Pakistanis! Ayub Khan died of Natural causes on 19 April 1974
wow i cant believe the overwhelming respect given to this gentleman. where has it all gone wrong today?
Rab carn this world is screwing itself over!
This “field marshal” (who only had 2.5 days of actual combat experience) became military dictator of Pakistan & lay his country at the feet of US/UK by signing SEATO , CENTO treaties - thereby becoming an American pawn in Central Asia - against the Soviets. Hats how Pakistan got billions of dollars in 1960s. All this shobiz & paraphernalia at display in his visits to USA in 1961 & to 1966 in London are testimony to that.
Alas! Muft money doesn’t stay. Today Pakistan is again with a begging bowl for the 40th time in it’s history at the mercy of IMF!
Some socialist dude and a genocide ruined it all
as an indian, i am impressed with the welcome ayub khan was given. very cool video. good find.
Also check the one given to Liaqat Ali Khan.

@@tayyabsaeed1074 Yeah Donald Lu and Joe Biden will personally present Imran Khan Guard of Honor via Red Carpet in Adiyala Jail ? You're on cheap drugs. Try to find some costly ones.
Those days were days of glory and respect for Pakistan. I feel proud of Ayub khans era.
Dont ignore the truth that Ayub was an army dictator amazing that US for their interest calls Ayub a free people leader Ha ha

@ramanshukla9288 true a dictator and Pakistan people slave.
@@ramanshukla9288 Correct!
Pakistan during the 60s and early 70s helped many other newly created nations in their road to growth and development. Students from upper classes of Brunei, Malaysia, and Middle East used to come to Pakistan for acquiring professional skills. Pakistan had the highest number of university graduates for almost a decade, in all of South and South-East Asia. PIA was the fastest growing airline in late 50s and early 60s and it helped built up Malaysian Airlines & Jordanian Airlines through training.
*50s and 60s were the best era of Pakistan, as soon as the 70s started the country entered a dark age and civil war.
@@titan1286 1954 pakistan signed mutual defence pact joined SEATO and CENTO 🤣🤣Which u should not have joined how cAN a newly created third world be frnd with superpower when there wAS no match today pakistan is begging because u have wasted 70 years pleasing wertern masters for few dollars now they have disposed off you . now no sovirt jihad no money
@@titan1286 Do you think that there's hope for a better pakistan just like in the 50s and 60s
Never@@theguyver4934
Democracy doesn't work in third world countries like Pak. We were better off with Dictators. Ayub Khan built all the dams and industry. PIA (which is bankrupt now) was used even by the President of the US because of its popularity for its amazing service and exotic tradition gourmet meals under him!
@Goat_amongus how come?
“To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.”
Exactly 😂
Aj Pakistan mein jitni bhi industry dams highest level ki universities or ye sab ayub khan ki hi de Howe hai....thank you ayub khan
Allah apko Jinnat mein Ala mukaam ata fermaye ❤️
that was when Pakistan was on the top of the world, one of the top 3 cricket teams, best hockey team in the world, best squash player in the world, best airliner in the world, double digit growth, investments from all over the world, no one would of thought India would reach such heights and Pakistan stoop so low, 1980s onward we just kept destroying the country and now look at where we are.
The gap between India and Pakistan is the current gap between both countries

Ranjit Tyagi spot on!
Khan12078 now u have become more arab than u were Indian. So u have lost ur minds and progress
Because India dumped socialism in 1970 as continuous failures where as Bhutto imposed it upon the cost of splitting the country..
too much corruption but don't worry every country has ups and downs.
Khan saab you are right hundred percent stay blessed always khan saab the great Ameen 🙏🙏👍💐
Wow Pakistani president addressing the Congress. Back then the US was a worthy ally, and Pakistan a worthy country to host. Things have indeed devolved a lot from the looks of this footage.
the feeling is mutual
He was the one who brought the golden age to Pakistan. He now rests in heaven, may Allah bless him and forgive him for his very less sins.
Waleed Ayub ameen
Harraami Aayyaassh
No doubt

kaash dobara hum logo ko aisa leader naseeb hojae
it was all about american interests , they need him, II even seen a pic , pres. Ayub jokingly slapping the US president , and he is laughing, all so that Pakistan remain their ally and not the union of soviet socialist republic.
Way to ignore his other achievements. Compare GDP of Ayub Khan's era with current one. Look at the progressive society and then mullaism of mid 80s. No one is perfect but overall, in Ayub Khan's era Pakistan progressed faster than any other country in the region.
umair khan I'm agreed
Asfand khan , well who says Pakistan can't become even a greater nation than b4, but are Pakistanis ready to give what it takes to make the nation great, would u as a Pakistani contribute and work hard to educate ppl around u and expose these corrupt politician whose only interest is to loot and Rob Pakistan, well if every educated Pakistani tried to educate the less educated Pakistani abt corrupt politicians, it takes hard work and contribution from a nations citizen to make a great nation , it don't and won't just happen
Asfand khan ...it was not matter of leadership.it was trape.I will be pleased if he wouldn't visit America rather would have gone Russia.
pakistan is the most beautiful and amazing country in the world and president Ayub khan is the best president in history he is amazing honest smart and brave man
Which type of brave man he was than why he defted in 1965 war from India
Jahanwi Ayush. Bro for your information he died in 19-3-1974.

This was the only era when Pakistan was almost top on the whole world economy and used to go be loans to other countries like Germany and South Korea

Fun fact Pakistan once loaned Japan a few million dollars and now it asks loans itself
Ma Sha Allah, Sir Ayub Khan was one of the great leaders of Pakistan. Those days were gold. Now a new hope for Pakistan of great leadership from Honorable PM Imran Khan has risen. In sha Allah we will rise from the ashes. And corrupt responsible for Pakistan's downfall will be hanged in the streets.
Long Live Islam.
Long Live Pakistan.
It’s important to remember that his respect is not because of who he is but because of what the country was once. Our growth was inevitable no matter who lead. Today even if we had benazir bhutto, we would not get this reception because of what we have become.

Fully agreed. Unfortunately we failed to become a respectable nation inspite of being a nuclear power n with two Nobel laurettes n all.
Benazir was a corrupt elitist herself lol stop.
Such was our respect when we were not beggars...

Naruto Uzamaki hahahahahaha.
My dad always praised abt President ayub khan He did lot of development for our country too what a great leader
Damn smart and strong personality of Pakistani president Mr A khan. What a grand reception from J F Kennedy of USA. Now I'm thinking about past and present situation of Pakistan and quality of political leaders. Only Imran Khan have the qualities to lead Pakistan to advancement I think. From Bangladesh
I'm an Indian and even though he lead pakistan in the 1965 war against us I respect this man, leaders in our part of the world unfortunately tend to be either weak, deluded, populist or a combination of the 3. ayub was a tough leader with good economic policies. though i dont agree with the dictatorship, india and pakistan could both benefit from a strong, dedicated leader like him. manmohan singh is smart but weak and zardari is a crook.

What a golden memory! President Ayyub was the real founder of Pakistan. I feel proud of him from Bangladesh. He was an iron man in terms of development, upholding the honour of Pakistan and rebuild the East Pakistan.. May Allah grant him Jannah.
Democracy ia a trap of western colonization. All the powerful & patriotic leader of Muslim Ummah was the dictator. May Allah forgive him.
What a leader he was
At the time General Ayub Khan was a in service general, Commanders In Chief of Pakistan army and Chief Martial Administrator. He made himself president of Pakistan.

Aizad Sayid , salute to you for putting out such a dignifying video out, love you man , great work
It deeply saddens me to see that once prospering nation, which throughout 60's was the fastest growing economy in Asia, stands at the current level of terrorism, depravity, lawlessness and economic doom. Despite all the hardships that Pakistan faced in its early years. it only took it a decade and a half to register double digit growth and become one of the most positive, steadfast and hardworking nations in all of Muslim world.
President Ayub khan was very smart good looking and very intelligent. His style ,pose and dignified manner is absent in now a days Asian leaders. Very impressed
Ayub Khan era was golden era of Pakistan history he was such a great builder of Pakistan after Quid e Azam his great services for Pakistan are here during that time
Building of Mangla Dam
Tarbela Dam
capital city of Islamabad
Railway carriage factory Islamabad
Electric train from Lahore to khanewal
Agriculture reform's
Industrial revolution
Import of latest technology in Pakistan
Pakistan ardence factory wah cantt and many more mega projects
In USA he was the first and last Pakistani leader who welcomed as warmly as we see in this video
President Ayub Khan ke Daur Mein Hamen Pakistani hone per fakhru hoha I love u president Ayub Khan❤
Deep respect from my heart to president Ayub khan.Wish Pakistan again achieve the same leader as it was than.

Amazed by this video. President Ayub wanted to create a great nation.

Such was the respect of Pakistani leaders when they bow only to almighty Allah not to Non believers like Americans,(As said in our Kashmiri language ,"yus khochi ZATAS tas khochi aalam adna Jin ti Insan") means Whosoever scared of Almighty ALLAH world will be scared of him including demons and humans

Highly proud of Field Marshal Excellency Ayub Khan And Excellency John F Kennedy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. It was a golden age of that time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Little is achieved by harking back to the past, however glorious the film footage images, other than learning lessons from it. It never ceases to amaze me that the political leaders of historical eminence in the sub continent couldn't see further than their noses of the consequences of their actions.
Some great personality which could have and have changed pakistan:
1. Quid e Azam
2. Ayub Khan
3. Gn Musharraf (if was elected as prime minister by democracy would have made pakistan super power)
4. Imran Khan
incredible
Ayub khan sahib must have been hurt when JF Kennedy was assassinated. If someone has collection of his words please upload
Ayub Khan was a great leader his time is called golden decade for pakistan
ayub khan actually did have some modernizing reforms planned, including birth control, but unfortunately was not able to make it
Birth control would have changed Pakistan fate..now we have more than half population as useless breeders creating terrorist..
birth control? As of today pakistan is the 5th largest country in the world.

Sorry Aizad but FM Ayub was not the second but third COAS! First was Gen. Messervy!
this president was the best one of that country, handsome, good english command and dignity...he with his daughter attended the dinner gala in the country we were..very graceful daughter he was smart to keep his daughter w/him..as his wife was not educated. foreigners think pak president was very handsome and have good appearance.....now u don't see any president of that country like him all of them look so uneducated/no personality at ALL.that mushraf is better than all today he has personality
How tall was president ayub .
We can not still that any Pakistani official President prime on this type of historical arrival in our pak history
thats the spirit
Impressive!

Shame on nawaz and Zardari and their supporters who have brought down Pakistan to such level now
@peace200351 Ayub definitely had a solid vision for the future of Pakistan.
What a days.
Aiub khan is great patriot leader all Pakistan. ❤
We Will Bounce back to our Glory InshaAllah
Wow
Nice respect
Amazing reception given to the only leader of this country, wonder what respect our present leaders receive at usa hands. They now consider us their yesman with no respect
Nice video. The tenure of Ayub was good despite the fact he was a dictator.

Jews and US are the most civilized people
Muslims and Islam were always oppressive and tribal. They could not sustain democracy and modernism. This phase was when US needed Pak to combat China , when that was done pak wad thrown out and it could not sustain itself as it's allergic to modernism
We lost Ayub and then we lost Musharaf.....
hit the nail on the head and now we are paying the price, but fellow Pakistani dont seem to understand that.
I know the truth sometimes is very hard to digest. My sympathies with the state of affairs in Pakistan. Heard here was another suicide bomb attack on Shias. How's that going on?

thanks for u s a they they recpect our leader
I like this video.
The King Khan 👈
From what we were 50 /60 yrs ago ,look at us now, under these criminals, it makes me shame to be a Pakistani 😢
It was during ayub Khan that Pakistani citizens formed respect love for their army when the protest started against his rule he resigned and handed power to yahya Khan with promise of election that was the beginning of the downslide of the country and the public love and respect for the armed forces
