Highlighting the US President’s role in brokering ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May this year, the prime minister said had it not been for this gentleman, no one would have lived to tell what happened in South Asia as both countries in the conflict were nuclear powers.
He said it was then that Pakistan nominated Donald Trump for Nobel peace prize and today after this historic agreement for peace in Gaza, Pakistan once again nominates him for Nobel as he has once again saved millions of lives.
Earlier, US President Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Amir of Qatar Sheikh Thamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed the document that aims at ending the prevailing grave situation in Gaza.

He thanked the Arab and world leaders who contributed in making this peace agreement possible.
The US president made special mention of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehabaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir for their efforts in this regard.
“We have achieved a historic change in the region and all the momentum now is toward lasting peace and our commitment to fulfilling the Gaza Peace plan.”
Speaking on the occasion, the Egyptian President praised and thanked the US president for ending the tragic war in Gaza.
