A seminar aimed at highlighting the the legal and constitutional framework of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) is under way at the Jinnah Convention Centre in Islamabad.
It began with an opening speech by Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, who described the IWT as “an instrument of peace and regional stability”.
“Today, we are not merely discussing the treaty. We are discussing the lifeline of nearly 240 million people of Pakistan,” he said.
