Shahbaz Sharif trumped that praise
The statement said that Sharif also “praised the courageous and decisive leadership by US President Donald Trump, which caused a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.” According to the statement, he also thanked Rubio for the important role of America in the Indo-Pak ceasefire. Recently, Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir met US President Donald Trump. There was a lot of discussion about this. During the meeting, US President Trump had said that he wanted to thank Asim Munir and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as both of them agreed to the ceasefire with their own partnership. However, India was never in this favor. The first initiative of ceasefire was taken by Pakistan, when it was badly scared of the ravaged attack by the Indian Army. Then he talked to the US for this and requested that he talk to India. This has also been confirmed by Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar himself.
