Islamabad, May 3, 2025 – In a significant diplomatic exchange, Pakistan reiterated its stance on India’s Indus Treaty violation during a telephone conversation between Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, and Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis.
Dar categorically rejected India’s recent allegations and its disinformation campaign, labeling them as unfounded and destabilizing. He emphasized that New Delhi’s unilateral steps, particularly its decision to place the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, represent a stark breach of international law and threaten regional peace and security.
He condemned the violation, stating that India’s actions disregard longstanding commitments under the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, a World Bank-brokered agreement that governs water-sharing between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. “Such unilateralism undermines not only regional harmony but also the integrity of international treaties,” Dar said.
The Deputy Prime Minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to peace and regional stability. However, he made it clear that Pakistan would protect its sovereignty and national interests with resolve. He further stressed Islamabad’s demand for an independent and transparent investigation to uncover the facts behind India’s recent actions and allegations.
Foreign Minister Gerapetritis acknowledged the gravity of the situation and emphasized the importance of restraint from all parties to avoid escalation. He welcomed Pakistan’s call for a neutral inquiry as a constructive approach to uphold peace and dialogue in South Asia.
As tensions persist, the call marks a renewed effort by Pakistan to gain international support against India’s Indus Treaty violation, while positioning itself as a responsible regional actor committed to lawful resolution and diplomacy.
