Intensive Talks at UN in New York Remained Useful: Bilawal

New York: Chairman PPP and former Foreign Minister, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, says his intensive talks at the United Nations were very useful and successful. Speaking at Pakistan Mission in New York, he said the delegation received a sympathetic response to Pakistan’s position on key issues with India, especially New Delhi’s threat to cut off water.

According to Radio Pakistan, Bilawal reaffirmed Pakistan’s readiness to hold a comprehensive dialogue with India, including discussions on terrorism. He highlighted that Pakistan has endured the highest number of terrorist attacks globally and has suffered deeply from the consequences of terrorism.

Bilawal Bhutto expressed grave concern at the unilateral suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, which Pakistan considers a blatant act of weaponizing water and a violation of international and treaty obligations. He stressed that due to India’s belligerent aggression, the world has become a less safe place, with real and present implications for peace and security in South Asia.

Reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to peace, restraint, and diplomacy, he called for the restoration of the Indus Waters Treaty, full respect for the ceasefire, and the resumption of a comprehensive dialogue, with the resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute at its core.
