New Delhi: India and Pakistan Another round started on Monday Permanent Indus Commission Meeting held annually under the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) 1960. Indus talks have escaped stagnation in ties as both countries see it as inevitable IWT,
According to the Ministry of External Affairs, under the provisions of the treaty, the two sides are required to meet alternately in India and Pakistan at least once every year. The exchange of hydrology and flood data was discussed in the last meeting held in New Delhi on 23-24 March, 2021.
In March, India and Pakistan reiterated their commitment to implement the Indus Waters Treaty in its true spirit and expressed hope that the next meeting of the Permanent Indus Commission would be held in India at the earliest.
A five-member Pakistani delegation is here for the two-day-long talks. The two countries do not see the Indus Dialogue as a harbinger of a more solid engagement between them. The last diplomatic talks between the two countries were held in December 2015, and while they managed to announce the resumption of talks, the process never really went ahead. Pathankot assault.
The two countries have been exploring options to resume talks since the new government assumed power in Pakistan, but Islamabad has been insisting that India give “concession” to the Jammu and Kashmir issue first.
