Sharif thanks Trump for intervention in India-Pakistan conflict at UNGA

thehindu.com [$] —

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif addressed the UN General Assembly on Friday, crediting U.S. President Donald Trump for his "timely intervention" in the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict and again raising the Kashmir issue. Sharif thanked Trump for his leadership, stating the intervention saved hundreds of millions of lives in South Asia, and called for a just solution to Kashmir to prevent future conflict. This follows India's Operation Sindoor, launched in May 2025 in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. India has consistently denied any third-party intervention and rejected Pakistan's Kashmir assertions, reiterating that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Sharif also discussed the Indus Waters Treaty, which India has held in abeyance, and touted Pakistan's role in brokering peace between the U.S. and Iran.
