In a notable diplomatic moment at Egypt’s Peace Summit on Gaza, former US President Donald Trump expressed a hopeful vision for South Asian relations, declaring, “I think Pakistan and India are going to live very nicely together.” He turned to Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for affirmation, receiving a smile in response. The summit, aimed at fostering peace and addressing humanitarian needs in Gaza, brought together global figures. Trump also commended Pakistan’s military chief, calling him his “favorite field marshal,” and encouraged Prime Minister Sharif to share insights on regional stability. India, represented by Minister of State Kirti Vardhan Singh, reaffirmed its dedication to peace and humanitarian aid for Gaza, aligning with its established diplomatic stance. Singh met with Trump to convey India’s support for the peace process. The statement comes amidst heightened tensions along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, following recent clashes and security operations. Egypt’s President El-Sissi, co-hosting with Trump, hailed the peace plan as a “last chance” and reiterated support for a two-state solution. Trump was honored with Egypt’s Order of the Nile for his summit contributions, underscoring a global emphasis on dialogue.
