India Suspends Indus Waters Treaty; Pakistan Seeks International Support for Restoration
India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) following the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, citing Pakistan's failure to curb cross-border terrorism. Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has called for international support, including from Canada, to restore the treaty and condemned India's move as destabilizing and an example of 'weaponisation of water.' Canada did not address the treaty in its official response. The IWT, signed in 1960, governs water sharing between the two countries and lacks provisions for unilateral suspension.
