Spokesman Report
Islamabad: The Government of Pakistan has formally recommended US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his decisive diplomatic intervention that helped prevent a full-scale war between Pakistan and India during a recent period of heightened tensions.
According to an official statement, President Trump played a leadership role in defusing a critical conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
“His timely and strategic diplomacy averted escalation and restored balance in the region,” the government noted, calling it a contribution deserving of global recognition.
The statement recalled that the international community had witnessed India’s unprovoked and unlawful aggression, which was a grave violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and regional peace.
The attack caused civilian casualties, including women and children.
In response, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, a calculated and resolute military action intended to re-establish the balance of power and protect territorial integrity. Islamabad credited President Trump for quickly establishing communication with both New Delhi and Islamabad, helping to defuse tensions through dialogue.
His intervention, Pakistan emphasized, showed a genuine commitment to resolving disputes through peaceful means.
The government further highlighted Trump’s offer to mediate the Kashmir issue, stating that such initiatives reflect “visionary leadership.”
The statement said that the Government of Pakistan appreciates President Trump’s offer to help resolve the Kashmir issue.
The Jammu and Kashmir issue is the epicenter of regional instability, it said, adding that sustainable peace and stability in South Asia will not be achieved until the Security Council resolutions on the Kashmir issue are implemented.
The statement expressed hope that Trump will continue to play a constructive role in promoting global stability, including efforts to address ongoing crises in Gaza, the broader Middle East, and escalating tensions with Iran.
Meanwhile, during a media interaction in New Jersey, Donald Trump commented on the Pakistan-India ceasefire, saying, “I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping that war.”
He also took a jab at the Nobel selection process, saying, “They only give it to liberals. They won’t give it to me.”
Trump also hinted at the possibility of a trade deal with both Pakistan and India, suggesting further engagement in South Asian affairs.
