ISLAMABAD: Condemning India’s water weapons, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Friday warned that Pakistan would not allow neighboring country to stop the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) and endanger millions of lives for small political benefits.

It is a matter of great regret that India has decided to unilaterally and illegally the Indus Water Agreement, which regularly enhances the acquisition of water in the Indus Basin.

“Pakistan will not allow millions of lives to be taken hostage for small political heads,” he said. We will never allow the Red Line to cross. “

The conference includes more than 2500 delegates from 80 UN member states and 70 international organizations, including Prime Ministers, Vice Presidents, Ministers, and UN Assistant Secretary General.

In his comprehensive address, Prime Minister Shahbaz, in his comprehensive address, touched all relevant issues, including snow protection, Pakistan’s climate weakness, floods in Pakistan, global climate action and responsibility, scientific estimates on snow melting, water weapons and the protection of the common destiny of nature and humanity.

He told the International Conference organized by Tajikistan, in collaboration with the United Nations, UNESCO, WMO, Asian Development Bank, and other key partners as a historic moment of climate ambitions, glaciers, and international cooperation.

The 77th meeting of the UN General Assembly, through a resolution, was declared 2025 as the international year of Glaciers’ protection.

Prime Minister Shahbaz said that because of Pakistan, being the home of more than 13,000 glaciers, the most important thing was because the glaciers had made almost half of the annual flow to the Indus River system – the life of our civilization, culture and economy.

He added, “The five great rivers formed our geographical landscape – Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, and Sutlej – all depend on the stability of the snow system. This makes Pakistan a very weak countries for any climate change.”

He told the International Meeting that Pakistan faced the risk of melting snow in the form of catastrophic floods in 2022, which destroyed millions of acres of standing crops, hundreds of thousands of houses and infrastructure, yet Pakistan’s total is less than 10 percent of its total.

He prayed that no other country faced such disaster, which requires a comprehensive plan and immediate implementation.

Referring to the “sobing” scientific estimates, he highlighted that the icy melting in our region is expected to intensify the floods in the coming decades, after which the river flow will decrease as the glacier decreases.

He warned that “these changes threaten our critical ecosystem. When we are close to these serious new facts, we should focus on dangerous bells, haunting results – lost livelihoods, homeless families and signs of deep chaos.”

Highlighting Pakistan’s commitment to joint responsibility and collective action, he called for promoting a better global climate move to reduce the negative effects of climate change.

“Developed countries should fulfill their climate financial promises without delay, and with a balanced focus on adaptation and reduction as well as loss and loss. Proper financing is important to overcome climate, infrastructure, and financing to overcome the differences.

He considered the childhood memories of swimming in the river Ravi, and pointed out how the rivers like Ravi and Tajikistan’s Wakhsh fed the glaciers, maintained life in the territories, and the sources of joint water symbolized a common environmental destiny in which they needed their efforts to protect them.

He emphasized that “let’s protect and protect the valuable possessions of nature for our planets and our people.”
