Indian Ambassador to the United States, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, stressed on August 2, 2026 that Pakistan must first dismantle the terror infrastructure that it has built if it wants India's cooperation on bilateral issues — including the Indus Waters Treaty. This came after Pakistan convened a conference in Islamabad to protest India's decision to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance following Operation Sindoor (May 7, 2026). India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty 1960 after the Pahalgam terror attack (April 22, 2026). The Indus Waters Treaty was brokered by the World Bank and signed in 1960 between India and Pakistan.
