Pakistan highlights climate challenges, water security and international responsibility at a major European policy conference.
BRUSSELS: Pakistan has raised a strong voice on the growing global concerns surrounding water security, climate change and international justice as Federal Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Coordination Senator Dr. Musadik Malik arrived in Brussels to attend a key international conference on transboundary water resources.
The minister is participating in the conference titled “Transboundary Water Resources: A Weaponized Global Commons,” being organized by the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in collaboration with the Embassy of Pakistan to the European Union, Belgium and Luxembourg.
The event will bring together members of the European Parliament, diplomats, international law experts, policymakers, environmental specialists and water resource professionals to discuss the rising geopolitical importance of shared water systems.
Speaking ahead of the conference, Dr. Musadik Malik said Pakistan considers any attempt to use water as a weapon unacceptable. He emphasized that water is not merely a natural resource but a critical issue linked with millions of people’s livelihoods, food security, agriculture, economy and national stability.
The conference will also focus on climate change impacts, global water security, international laws and the future of transboundary rivers, including discussions around the Indus Waters Treaty.
