On May 20, 2025, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, raised the Indus Waters Treaty issue during a United Nations Security Council debate on maritime security. This comes after India suspended the treaty in April 2025, accusing Pakistan of backing cross-border terrorism. Pakistan condemned India’s move as aggressive and harmful to regional peace, stressing the treaty’s role in ensuring water security. India reiterated its focus on national security and counterterrorism. The exchange highlights deepening diplomatic tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations and the growing international dimension of the Indus dispute. (PC: New India Abroad)
