Pakistan Says Global Recognition Strengthens Indus Waters Treaty Position

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has said Pakistan’s stance on the Indus Waters Treaty has received global recognition, strengthening the country’s legal position on the international stage. Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad alongside Federal Minister for Climate Change Musadik Malik, Tarar said the treaty is an internationally recognized agreement between Pakistan and India and cannot be suspended unilaterally.

He reiterated that Pakistan remains committed to safeguarding its water rights under international law.

He said the event aims to highlight the legal and technical aspects of the treaty while reinforcing Pakistan’s position before the international community.
