Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised Donald Trump for his efforts to help secure peace in South Asia and the Middle East, describing the US president as a “saviour of South Asia” and a “man of peace”.

Your timely and very effective intervention to achieve ceasefire between India and Pakistan potentially averted loss of tens of millions of people,” he said while addressing the inaugural session of the “Board of Peace” in Washington.
“You have truly proved to be a man of peace. And let me say, Mr. President, you are truly saviour of South Asia,” he remarked.
PM Shehbaz said the international community must work together towards a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination through the establishment of an independent, sovereign, and contiguous state of Palestine,
He expressed hope that under the visionary and dynamic leadership of US President Donald Trump, the international community will ensure a just and lasting resolution to the issue of Palestine.
Highlighting the efforts of President Trump for global peace, he said, “It’s a great honour, Mr President, to attend this inaugural Board of Peace meeting in this holy month of Ramazan and may God reward you and make you successful in your efforts to bring lasting peace in Gaza.”
“Mr President, we deeply appreciate your unique initiative and your dynamic leadership in advancing peaceful solutions to conflicts across the globe,” he continued.
He said, “The bold diplomacy of President Trump has surely brought calm to many international serious hot spots.”
“And today is a day which will mark a place in the annals of history, that through your efforts, through your untiring support and great efforts, long-lasting peace in Gaza will be achieved. It will be your legacy for all time to come,” he added.
The prime minister said, “The people of Palestine have long endured illegal occupation and immense suffering. And to achieve long-lasting peace, it is very important that ceasefire violations must end to preserve lives and advance reconstruction efforts.”
“The people of Palestine must exercise full control of their land and their future in line with UN Security Council resolutions,” he stressed.
