Separately, earlier on Monday, Dar emphasised that Pakistan remains a responsible and peace-seeking nation, yet will respond with firmness and proportionality if faced with aggression. “Our desire for peace must not be construed as weakness,” he stated, adding that Pakistan condemns terrorism in all its forms, without exception.
Dar strongly criticized the rising Islamophobic discourse in India, particularly the targeting of Muslims and Kashmiris. He also addressed India’s move to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, calling it a serious breach of international law and a direct threat to regional stability.
