Share this @internewscast.com

On Friday, President Donald Trump declared that he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had achieved a “wonderful” agreement between Rwanda and Congo, as Pakistan officially put forth his nomination for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

“I am delighted to announce that I have facilitated, alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a wonderful treaty between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda, concerning their conflict, known for extreme violence and death, surpassing many other wars, and persisting for decades,” Trump stated in a Truth Social post.

The president noted representatives from Rwanda and the Congo will be in Washington on Monday to sign documents.

Pakistani authorities expressed that during a period of heightened regional instability, Trump showcased “great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship” through “robust diplomatic engagement” with both Islamabad and New Delhi, leading to a ceasefire.

“This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue,” the post continued. “The Government of Pakistan also acknowledges and greatly admires President Trump’s sincere offers to help resolve the longstanding dispute of Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan—an issue that lies at the heart of regional instability.

“President Trump’s leadership during the 2025 Pakistan India crisis manifestly showcases the continuation of his legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building. Pakistan remains hopeful that his earnest efforts will continue to contribute towards regional and global stability, particularly in the context of ongoing crises in the Middle East, including the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Gaza and the deteriorating escalation involving Iran.”

According to The Nobel Prize’s website, to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, a person must be a “qualified nominator,” which includes national governments, heads of state, previous award winners, and members of specific international organizations. 

The nomination process is confidential, and entries are due by Jan. 31, hence the 2026 nomination.
