Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has hailed US President Donald Trump as “a man of peace” following the signing of the Gaza Peace Agreement 2025 at the Sharm El Sheikh Peace Summit in Egypt on Monday.

Speaking at a joint press conference alongside President Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the Pakistani premier called the signing “a great moment in contemporary history”, emphasizing that the agreement marks a turning point for global peace and stability.

Shehbaz Sharif commended the US President’s relentless efforts, saying Trump “worked day in and day out for months to make this world a place of peace and prosperity.” He noted that Trump’s leadership had earlier played a vital role in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May, preventing a potential nuclear catastrophe.

“Had it not been for this gentleman,” Shehbaz said, “no one would have lived to tell what happened in South Asia. It was then Pakistan nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize — and today, after this historic agreement for peace in Gaza, Pakistan once again nominates him.”

“We have achieved a historic breakthrough, and all the momentum now is toward lasting peace,” Trump said.
