India not likely to take part in any meeting on IWT in Washington

NEW DELHI: India today indicated that it had no plan as of now of participating in Washington with Pakistan on the Indus Water Treaty.

External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Gopal Baglay said here there had been no change in the previous Indian position on any of the matters discussed at the permanent Commission on Indus Water Treaty, which met in Pakistan this week.

“At this stage, it would be premature to talk of hypothetical contingencies,” Mr Baglay said. He was responding to a question on Pakistan water and power minister Khwaja Asif’s announcement during the Indus Water Treaty meeting between the two countries that they would hold a three-day way forward meeting on Ratle and Kishengang projects in Washington in April.  (AGENCIES)
