NEW DELHI: India and Pakistan are expected to hold parleys on various aspects of the Indus Water Treaty in Islamabad later this month, nearly six months after New Delhi decided to suspend talks on the pact in view of the terror strikes by Pakistan-based groups.
The meeting of the Permanent Indus Commission will be held before March 31 “as it is mandated” under the treaty, Government sources said today.
“Under the treaty, it is required that India and Pakistan meet every financial year. If we don’t, then it is going to be a violation of the pact.
“But there are chances we will meet for a day or two in the third or fourth week of this month,” they said.
The last meeting of the commission was held in June 2015. (AGENCIES)
