Pakistan Insists Indus Waters Treaty Remains Valid Amid India's Firm Stance
Pakistan has reiterated that the Indus Waters Treaty remains valid and binding, even as tensions mount between the two nations over water-sharing issues. The statement comes amid India's firm position on the matter, signalling divergent approaches to one of South Asia's most significant bilateral agreements.
The 1960 treaty, brokered by the World Bank, governs the sharing of waters from the Indus River system between India and Pakistan. Both nations have historically relied on the accord to manage their hydro-politics, though disputes have periodically strained the arrangement.
