The delegation also criticised India`s move to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, calling it `a weaponisation of water and a violation of international law.

`I condemned India`s reckless actions, including its weaponisation of water, and reaffirmed that Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir remains an unresolved dispute and a fault line for regional peace,` Mr Bhutto-Zardari told reporters.
