PM thanks Trump, says ceasefire deal ‘marks a new beginning’
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has framed today’s ceasefire as the beginning of a wider movement towards stability in the region.
“Pakistan believes this marks a new beginning in the resolution of issues that have plagued the region and prevented its journey toward peace, prosperity and stability,” he wrote in a tweet on X.
He also stressed the role of the Trump administration in the ceasefire, thanking not only the US president for his “leadership and proactive role”, but also Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Rubio.
“Pakistan appreciates the United States for facilitating this outcome, which we have accepted in the interest of regional peace and stability,” he said.
