Pakistan on Tuesday urged India to respect the decades-old Indus Waters Treaty. The treaty was suspended by India last year after a terror attack in Pahalgam- a tourist place in Jammu and Kashmir. 

Addressing an international water conference in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, Pakistan’s Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Coordination Musadik Malik accused India of politicizing shared water resources.

Malik said,  "Unilateral actions involving transboundary rivers could trigger serious global challenges related to water security, food production and climate resilience."

The remarks come after India last year suspended the 1960 treaty following a deadly militant attack in Pahalgam on April 22. New Delhi announced a series of measures against Pakistan a day after the attack, including the suspension of the water-sharing accord.

Brokered by the World Bank in 1960, the Indus Waters Treaty governs the sharing and management of waters from the Indus River system and its tributaries between India and Pakistan.
