Pakistan Again Credits Trump with May India-Pakistan Ceasefire; India Denies Mediation

Islamabad – November 9, 2025 – Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has once again publicly thanked former U.S. President Donald Trump for what he claims was instrumental mediation leading to a ceasefire between Pakistan and India in May. Sharif made the remarks while addressing Azerbaijan’s Victory Day parade in Baku on Saturday, November 8, 2025.

“It was President Trump’s bold and decisive leadership that brought about the ceasefire between Pakistan and India,” Sharif stated, attributing the cessation of hostilities to Trump’s intervention. He claimed Trump restored peace in South Asia, averted a major war, and saved millions of people.

The supposed conflict stemmed from India’s “Operation Sindoor,” launched on May 7th in response to the April 22nd Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians. Operation Sindoor targeted terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, leading to a tense four-day period of cross-border drone and missile strikes.

However, New Delhi has consistently refuted the claim of U.S. mediation. Indian officials maintain that the ceasefire was a bilateral understanding reached between India and Pakistan on May 10th after four days of intense warfare, with no third party involvement.

Since May, Mr. Trump has claimed to have helped settle the tensions between the two countries on social media numerous times.

In his address, Sharif also touched upon the Kashmir issue, expressing hope for nations facing “oppression” and emphasizing Pakistan’s commitment to peace while safeguarding its sovereignty.

The Azerbaijan Victory Day parade featured armed forces from Pakistan and Türkiye alongside Azerbaijani forces, including a flypast by JF-17 Thunder jets.
