Pakistan has officially recommended US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his "decisive diplomatic intervention" following a surge in violence between India and Pakistan earlier this year.
The government praised Trump for using his "significant leadership" in May, when several days of cross-border attacks marked the worst regional fighting between the two nuclear-armed nations since 1971, killing dozens of people and fueling fears of a wider war.
Islamabad and New Delhi agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire on May 8 as a recent spate of attacks swept through parts of the long-disputed region of Kashmir - over which both countries claim full sovereignty.
"At a time of heightened regional unrest, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and excellent statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi," the Pakistani government said in a statement on Saturday.
The US president helped "avoid a wider conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond," the statement added.
