In a striking moment during the Sharm el-Sheikh Summit, U.S. President Donald Trump hailed India as a “great country” and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, leaving Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visibly embarrassed.
The summit, hosted in Egypt’s Red Sea resort, focused on advancing peace and regional stability in the Middle East. It also witnessed the signing of a historic Gaza ceasefire declaration, marking a rare moment of international unity in the conflict-ridden region.
During his address, Trump said, “India is a great country with a very good friend of mine at the top who has done a fantastic job. I think that Pakistan and India are going to live very nicely together.” His remarks reportedly drew laughter when Sharif attempted to interject, highlighting the contrasting global stature of the two South Asian leaders.
India’s Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh also met Trump on Monday—this being the first formal interaction between an Indian minister and the U.S. President since Operation Sindoor. Singh attended as Modi’s special envoy, reaffirming India’s growing diplomatic clout in West Asia and its emerging role in global peace initiatives.
