In a message, PM Sharif, both personally and on behalf of Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir, deeply thankful to President Trump for accepting Pakistan’s request to extend the ceasefire. The move, according to the premier, is aimed at keeping diplomatic channels alive and preventing a dangerous return to full-scale conflict.

Sharif stressed that Pakistan, relying on “trust and confidence,” will continue what he described as sincere efforts to support a negotiated settlement to the ongoing regional crisis. He also expressed hope that both conflicting sides will maintain the ceasefire and move constructively toward peace talks.
