ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday praised US President Donald Trump for “delivering on his promise” to stop the military campaign in Gaza, after attending a landmark peace summit in Egypt that brought together regional and global leaders to formalize a ceasefire and chart a path toward reconstruction.
The Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, co-hosted by Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and attended by heads of state and ministers from over 20 countries — including Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Qatar, France, the UK and the Palestinian Authority — endorsed a declaration aimed at ending hostilities, guaranteeing humanitarian access, and outlining a roadmap for Gaza’s governance and rebuilding.
“Our gratitude to President Trump is anchored in him promising that he would make it stop, and delivering on that promise,” Sharif said in a post on X before boarding his flight home from Sharm El-Sheikh. “We will continue to express our admiration for President Trump’s unique contribution to peace.”
Sharif said Pakistan’s foremost priority at the summit was securing “an immediate cessation of the genocidal campaign imposed on Gaza,” adding that Islamabad had coordinated closely with other “brotherly nations” to push for an end to the conflict and relief for civilians trapped under blockade.
