Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Raises Kashmir at UNGA, Credits Trump for 2025 Conflict Intervention

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif addressed the 81st UN General Assembly on September 26, 2026, raising the Kashmir dispute and calling for self-determination under UN resolutions. Sharif credited US President Trump for a 'timely intervention' that helped end the May 2025 India-Pakistan military confrontation, framing US mediation as critical to preventing escalation. The remarks are Pakistan's first major multilateral platform statement since the ceasefire and signal Islamabad's intent to keep Kashmir and the conflict's aftermath on the international agenda despite India's insistence that bilateral issues must be resolved without third-party involvement.
