Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar met with British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband in London, discussing the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), regional security, and bilateral relations. The IWT has been under strain since India announced in 2025 that it would suspend its treaty obligations following an attack on tourists in occupied Kashmir that India blamed on Pakistan.
Dar emphasized India's "persistent violations of its international obligations" and stressed the importance of upholding international law and treaty commitments. Both leaders agreed to establish a structured mechanism for formal talks between their foreign ministries to strengthen bilateral ties and regularly review progress in key areas.
They also discussed the situation in the Middle East, with Dar highlighting Pakistan's diplomatic efforts and Miliband praising Pakistan's constructive role in the region.
