ISLAMABAD April 17, 2026 – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed deep gratitude to US President Donald J. Trump for his kind words appreciating Pakistan’s role in recent diplomatic efforts.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PM Shehbaz Sharif wrote:
“Mr President, on behalf of the people of Pakistan, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, and on my behalf, I express my deep and profound appreciation for your kind and gracious words.”
The message was accompanied by a screenshot of President Trump’s earlier post, in which the US leader publicly thanked Pakistan and its top leadership. Trump stated:
“Thank you to Pakistan and its Great Prime Minister and Field Marshal, two fantastic people!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
The exchange comes amid Pakistan’s successful mediation in the recent US-Iran tensions. Pakistan hosted crucial talks in Islamabad and played a key role in facilitating the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route. These efforts are widely credited with helping de-escalate the situation and restoring stability in the region.
Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff, has been highlighted alongside the Prime Minister for his competent leadership in these diplomatic initiatives.
The positive remarks from President Trump underscore the growing recognition of Pakistan’s contributions to regional peace and its strategic importance on the international stage. Political observers note that the development reflects strengthened bilateral ties between Pakistan and the United States under the current administrations.
This latest diplomatic success has drawn widespread attention, with many Pakistanis viewing it as a proud moment for the country’s foreign policy.
