Trump posted an 87-second extract from Prime Minister Sharif’s address on his Truth Social account without an accompanying comment. In his speech, Prime Minister Sharif said Pakistan responded to the Indian aggression in self-defence and praised Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir for a strong response to Indian aggression against Pakistan. PM Sharif also thanked Trump for his “timely intervention” at a critical moment.

PM Sharif told the 81st UN General Assembly that Trump’s intervention came when the two nuclear-armed neighbours were at the brink of a wider conflict. He said the intervention helped create conditions for the confrontation to end and urged efforts to prevent South Asia from returning to a similar crisis.

“We have won the war, now we seek to win peace,” PM Sharif declared, extending an offer for a “composite, comprehensive, peace-oriented dialogue with India on all outstanding issues.” He stressed that the region requires “productive rather than provocative leadership.”
While expressing gratitude for US President Donald Trump’s “bold and visionary leadership” in facilitating a ceasefire with India, an effort for which he nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, Sharif made it clear that Pakistan’s military response to aggression was decisive.
