ISLAMABAD: In a bold diplomatic move, the Government of Pakistan has officially recommended former U.S. President Donald J. Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. The nomination recognizes his pivotal role in de-escalating the recent India-Pakistan crisis.
Trump’s Role in Preventing a Nuclear Showdown
The conflict began with what Pakistan describes as unprovoked Indian aggression. This act violated Pakistan’s sovereignty and tragically claimed innocent lives—women, children, and the elderly among them.
In response, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, a carefully measured military operation aimed at reestablishing deterrence. The government emphasized that the operation avoided civilian casualties and strictly targeted military threats.
A Diplomatic Intervention that Averted War
At the height of regional tension, President Trump stepped in with swift diplomacy. He directly engaged both Islamabad and New Delhi, helping broker a ceasefire that prevented a full-scale war between two nuclear-armed nations.
His intervention not only halted hostilities but also restored regional stability. According to Pakistan, this episode stands as clear proof of Trump’s dedication to peace and dialogue.
Advocacy for Kashmir Peace Process
Pakistan further praised Trump’s continued interest in resolving the Kashmir dispute, calling it a major source of instability in South Asia. The government reiterated its stance that peace will remain elusive without implementing UN Security Council resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir.
Trump’s Legacy of Peacemaking Recognized
The statement highlights Trump’s consistent diplomatic approach, including his efforts during the 2025 India-Pakistan standoff. Pakistani officials also noted his potential to foster peace amid other global crises, including the Middle East conflict, the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza, and rising tensions involving Iran.
Pakistan expressed hope that Trump’s commitment to conflict resolution will continue to shape global diplomacy and regional harmony.
