The seminar is scheduled to be held on June 30.
Pakistan’s diplomatic momentum
Dr Zigón said India’s recent actions reflected frustration over Islamabad’s growing diplomatic success at the international level.
“All the actions that the Indian side is undertaking at the present moment are highlighting the great diplomatic success Pakistan has recently achieved,” she said.
Pakistan has rejected India’s unilateral move to suspend implementation of the Indus Waters Treaty, calling it illegal and a violation of international law.
Islamabad has raised the issue at regional and global forums, urging the international community to uphold the treaty as a key instrument of regional peace, water security and rules-based cooperation.
Call for global awareness
Dr Zigón said Islamabad should continue pursuing the matter through diplomatic channels and make the international community more aware of the risks linked to undermining the treaty.
She described the current situation as a “historical momentum” for Pakistan and the wider international community.
She added that Islamabad had played a significant diplomatic role and achieved a “tremendous breakthrough,” contributing not only to South Asian security but also to broader regional stability.
