Pakistan Calls for Neutrality on Kashmir, Requests Resumption of Indus Waters Treaty with India

Recently, Pakistan has requested India to resume its Indus Waters Treaty, which India paused in 2019. This appeal comes shortly after Pakistan's Army chief, Asim Munir, issued a nuclear strike warning, and former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto engaged in aggressive remarks against India. Experts believe Pakistan is attempting to diffuse tensions and seek neutrality from international stakeholders regarding Kashmir.

Pakistan's appeal for cooperation stems from its concern over India's decision in 2019 to stop the Indus Waters Treaty. This action significantly impacted the irrigation and electricity sectors in Pakistan. Now, Pakistan hopes to induce a favorable resolution that will benefit both countries and encourage mutual cooperation.

The stakes are high, but Pakistan insists that the Indus Waters Treaty's objective was to handle disputes regarding hydroelectric power generation projects located on rivers adjoining both countries. Given that India and Pakistan are both nuclear-armed states, one hopes that diplomacy, rather than military aggression, will prevail in regional relations.

The future of this critical water sharing agreement between the two South Asian neighbors is still uncertain. Will the recent escalation of hostile rhetoric spark a renewed diplomatic effort to protect innocent civilians from the consequences of geopolitical posturing? Only time will tell.
