Pakistan’s top diplomat Ishaq Dar met with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York to discuss key regional and global issues, including India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
Dar, who is also deputy prime minister, is on an eight-day visit to the U.S. to attend UN Security Council meetings and hold talks with American officials. He highlighted Pakistan’s concerns over the Kashmir dispute, India’s violation of the water treaty, and externally supported terrorism in Pakistan.
India suspended the decades-old Indus Waters Treaty in April after an attack by unknown gunmen killed 26 tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Dar stressed the importance of a just resolution to the Kashmir conflict based on UN Security Council resolutions and praised Guterres for his efforts to reduce tensions between Pakistan and India.
Dar also emphasized Pakistan’s commitment to multilateralism and the central role of the UN in tackling global challenges. He welcomed the appointment of a UN Special Envoy on Islamophobia and pledged Pakistan’s support for combating religious intolerance worldwide.
Guterres appreciated Pakistan’s engagement and initiatives at the Security Council.
