NEW DELHI, Mar 4 (NNN-PTI) – Delegations from India and Pakistan, discussed issues under the Indus Water Treaty (IWT), during a meeting of the Permanent Indus Commission (PIC), said the Indian Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three-day meeting, which concluded yesterday, was held in Pakistan’s Islamabad, during which “technical discussions were held, regarding on-going projects, including Pakal Dul, Kiru and Lower Kalnai,” according to a statement issued by the ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The PIC, comprising of Indus commissioners of India and Pakistan, discussed “the exchange of hydrological and flood data,” the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Both the commissioners reaffirmed their commitment to interact more frequently, in an attempt to resolve issues through bilateral discussions under the treaty,” it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PIC also agreed to hold the next meeting “in New Delhi on mutually convenient dates,” it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Post-partition of the subcontinent water-sharing was a major problem between India and Pakistan. The issue was resolved with the arbitration of the World Bank and a settlement in the name of IWT was reached in 1960.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agreement governs how the two countries use and share water resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the provisions of the IWT, the two commissioners are required to meet at least once every year, alternately in India and Pakistan.– NNN-PTI <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
