Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has praised US President Donald Trump’s role in easing tensions between Pakistan and India, expressing hope that his efforts to promote regional peace will receive recognition.
In a post on X, Shehbaz Sharif said Trump’s intervention helped bring Pakistan and India back from the brink of conflict and secure a ceasefire that, according to him, continues to hold.
He added that Pakistan had nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his contribution to de-escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
Sharif expressed hope that Trump’s efforts to promote peace and prevent conflict in South Asia would receive due recognition.
Pakistan’s Foreign Office has previously cited Trump’s role in facilitating the May 2025 ceasefire understanding between Pakistan and India as the reason for the nomination.
