Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif expressed on Saturday gratitude and praised Pakistan’s leadership and armed forces following the announcement of a full ceasefire between India and Pakistan by US President Donald Trump.

He added that Pakistan is a peace-loving country that prioritises peace, but also knows how to defend itself.

International observers have welcomed the development, calling for sustained dialogue and confidence-building measures to prevent further escalation.
