Pakistan will remain grateful to US President Donald Trump for his timely role in helping facilitate a ceasefire with India, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said, PTI reported.
Speaking at a reception hosted by the US Embassy on Thursday to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, Sharif described relations between Pakistan and the United States as a longstanding and special partnership that has endured for nearly 80 years.
Referring to the four-day military conflict between India and Pakistan last year, triggered by the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that killed 26 people, the prime minister said Trump's intervention played a key role in ending hostilities.
Here's what Sharif said "Last year, following India's unprovoked aggression after the Pahalgam incident, it was President Trump's timely and most decisive intervention that resulted in a ceasefire between Pakistan and India on 10 May, last year," he claimed.
