Trump acknowledges PM Shebaz, CDF Asim Munir efforts for peace

DAVOS: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of the Defence Staff (CDF) Asim Munir remain at the center of attention at the World Economic Forum and the Peace Board meeting.

Trump has delivered his speech at the “Board of Peace” Ceremony in Davos, where he mentioned the May war between Pakistan and India, acknowledging Pakistan’s effort in peace.

During his speech, Trump mentioned, We were very pleased to be able to stop a war that had begun between India and Pakistan, both nuclear-armed nations. I was deeply honored when the Prime Minister of Pakistan said that President Trump had saved 10, perhaps even 20 million lives by stopping it just in time. Very bad things were about to happen.

Furthermore, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and the US President had a cordial exchange at the signing ceremony of the Board of Peace, while the US President pointed to Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and gave him a thumbs up. This is a testament to the global recognition that Pakistan’s leadership has received due to its coordination.

He additionally added that today is an exciting day, long in the making. He further claimed that everyone wants to be a part of his Board of Peace. In his speech, he said that he will keep continuing to work with other organisations like the United Nations.

Trump also said that today’s world is not safer, richer, and much more peaceful than it was in 2025 before him. He further added that a lot of people did not even know this war was happening.

When discussing Hamas, he vowed that Hamas would either be disarmed or destroyed. He also mentioned Iran and said that they want to talk and will talk with Iran.
