The Embassy of Pakistan in Brussels @PakinBrussels, in collaboration with CEPS @CEPS_thinktank, organized a seminar titled “Transboundary Water Resources: A Weaponised Global Common” on 18 June 2026. Key note address was delivered by the Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar @MIshaqDar50, through a video-recorded message, during which he reaffirmed the importance of treaty-based transboundary water governance, respect for international law, and multilateral cooperation. Recalling the enduring significance of the Indus Waters Treaty, he emphasized that water must never be used as an instrument of coercion and called for enhanced international cooperation on water security. Addressing the gathering, the Ambassador of Pakistan @rahimhayat in his introductory statement, underscored that transboundary water resources are critical to regional stability, global security, and sustainable development, and reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to the peaceful resolution of disputes through dialogue and established legal mechanisms. The seminar brought together Federal Minister, Senator Dr. Musadik Masood Malik @DrMusadikMalik; Policy Officer, Water Europe @H20EU, Ms. Madalena Cepeda; Senior Researcher at Utrecht University and Energy Law In-house Counsel, Ms. Cathy Suykens; international arbitration expert and former counsel for the Government of Pakistan in Indus Waters Treaty matters, Mr. Feisal Hussain Naqvi; Head of Climate Programme, Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), Isabel Scheckenbach; and Founder of Captiv8 Strategies and Editor of The Pakistan Playbook, Mr. Danish Qayyum @DanQayyum. The event brought together nearly one hundred European policymakers, researchers, legal experts, academics, and practitioners to exchange views on climate vulnerability, water security, transboundary cooperation, rule-based governance, and the peaceful management of shared water resources. #IndusWatersTreaty #RulesBasedOrder #WaterSecurity #Climatechange #floods #droughts #Pakistan #EU @ForeignOfficePk @ClimateChangePK @MoIB_Official

Second Panel discussion focused on “Transboundary Cooperation, Rule of Law, and Water Weaponisation” and featured Federal Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Coordination, Senator Dr. Musadik Masood Malik @DrMusadikMalik; Senior Researcher at Utrecht University and KU Leuven, Dr. Cathy Suykens; renowned international arbitration expert and former counsel for the Government of Pakistan in Indus Waters Treaty matters, Mr. Faisal Naqvi; and media and communications expert, Mr. Dan Qayyum @DanQayyum. The discussion examined how shared water resources can become a source of tension when legal obligations are contested or politicised, and how robust institutional and treaty-based frameworks remain essential for preventing escalation. Dr. Musadik Malik @DrMusadikMalik highlighted recent Indian designs to completely alter the Indus waters system, thereby not only violating its treaty obligations and international law, but also seriously undermining security and stability of the entire South Asian region. He cautioned this sets a dangerous precedent for the world to follow and further underscored Pakistan’s willingness to resolve all outstanding issues through negotiation, under UN auspices and the international rules based order. Dr. Cathy Suykens highlighted the importance of rule-based water governance, drawing on European experience with transboundary river management, the role of basin-level cooperation, and the need for compliance mechanisms and institutional trust to sustain long-term stability. Mr. Faisal Naqvi provided legal and arbitration perspectives on transboundary water disputes, emphasizing the centrality of international water law, treaty interpretation, and established dispute-resolution mechanisms, including lessons from the Indus Waters Treaty and comparable international river regimes. Mr. Dan Qayyum @DanQayyum underlined the significance of strategic communication, public awareness, and narrative management in transboundary disputes, noting that water-related tensions are often amplified by misinformation and require transparent, fact-based engagement to support de-escalation. The panel reaffirmed that “Transboundary Cooperation, Rule of Law, and Water Weaponisation” requires a strong legal architecture, credible institutional processes, and informed public discourse to ensure that water remains a basis for cooperation rather than conflict. #IndusWatersTreaty #RulesBasedOrder #WaterSecurity #Climatechange #floods #droughts #Pakistan #EU @ForeignOfficePk @ClimateChangePK @rahimhayat
