Donald Trump makes big claim in Egypt says, 'India, Pakistan will live very nicely together'

US President Donald Trump, at the Egypt-hosted Peace Summit on Gaza, expressed optimism about South Asian relations, saying, “I think Pakistan and India are going to live very nicely together,” while turning to Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for confirmation. Sharif responded with a broad smile, underscoring a moment of diplomatic significance.

Trump also praised Pakistan’s leadership, calling military chief Asif Munir his "favorite field marshal from Pakistan,"and invited Sharif to address the summit, emphasising Pakistan’s potential role in promoting stability in the Middle East.  

India and Pakistan have seen escalating tensions recently along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. The conflict intensified after the Pahalgam incident, in which terrorists attacked security forces, resulting in multiple



casualties and a heightened cross-border alert.

Following this, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist hideouts in the region, which led to further clashes and retaliatory actions from across the border. These incidents, combined with ongoing ceasefire violations and cross-border firing, have significantly strained bilateral relations, drawing international concern and calls for restraint from both sides.

Representing India, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh attended as a special envoy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Singh met with President Trump to discuss India’s support for peace initiatives and humanitarian assistance in Gaza. India welcomed the landmark Peace Agreement, expressing hope that it would lead to lasting regional peace, reflecting its longstanding commitment to diplomacy.
