Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad briefed in New York the Ambassadors and Permanent Representatives of the Arab Group on the prevailing regional situation in South Asia.
He informed the Arab Group that Pakistan’s response to the blatant act of aggression by India was measured and proportionate, in exercise of its right to self-defense under the Charter.
He said that the Indian actions including the unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty were provocative and escalatory, and in gross violation of international law and the UN Charter.
Pakistan Ambassador Asim Iftikhar expressed Pakistan’s commitment to upholding the ceasefire and taking all necessary steps towards de-escalation and regional stability.
