Government of Pakistan Recommends President Donald J. Trump for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize
SeeNews Press Release Government of Pakistan 21st of June 2025 Government of Pakistan Recommends President Donald J. Trump for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize The Government of Pakistan has decided to formally recommend President Donald J. Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis. The international community bore witness to unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression, which constituted a grave violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity, resulting in the tragic loss of innocent lives, including women, children, and the elderly. In exercising its fundamental right to self-defense, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyanum Marsoos—a measured, resolute, and precise military response, carefully executed to re-establish deterrence and defend its territorial integrity while consciously avoiding civilian harm.

This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue. The Government of Pakistan also acknowledges and greatly admires President Trump's sincere offers to help resolve the longstanding dispute of Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan—an issue that lies at the heart of regional instability. Durable peace in South Asia would remain elusive until the implementation of United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning Jammu and Kashmir. President Trump's leadership during the 2025 Pakistan India crisis manifestly showcases the continuation of his legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building. Pakistan remains hopeful that his earnest efforts will continue to contribute towards regional and global stability, particularly in the context of ongoing crises in the Middle East, including the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza and the deteriorating escalation involving Iran.

In his address, Sharif emphasised the pivotal role of the Pakistan Navy in national defence and regional security, noting, "The Pakistan Navy has been a formidable force through all conflicts and remains a strong pillar of our national security." The PM also reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to international peace and maritime law, citing the AMAN Exercise, which involved over 50 countries, as a symbol of Pakistan's cooperative maritime posture. With more than 1,000 kilometres of coastline and strategic positioning along vital sea lanes, Sharif stated that Pakistan was uniquely positioned to tap into the trillion-dollar global blue economy. "Even tapping a fraction of this economy could be a real game-changer," he said, adding, "Our coastal trade already brings in nearly $7 billion a year, and just imagine the potential if we fully develop this sector." The PM drew inspiration from global success stories, notably Japan, which, despite limited maritime resources, became a global leader in marine infrastructure and regional trade. "Let there be open competition," he said, stressing the importance of resilience, innovation, and strategic investment. Sharif concluded by highlighting the need to transform Pakistan's maritime sector into a driver of inclusive, sustainable economic growth. He called for greater synergy between the public and private sectors, saying, "The time has come to take the lead."
