Pak asks Canada to back Indus Water Treaty
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar requested Canada's support for the restoration of the Indus Waters Treaty during a joint press briefing with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand. Dar accused India of escalating tensions by announcing in April 2025 that it would hold the treaty in abeyance, which he claims undermines international law. He urged friendly nations, including Canada, to help restore the treaty and prevent the weaponization of water resources.
