Pakistan has decided to formally update the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on escalating regional tensions with India, state-run Radio Pakistan reported on Monday.
Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has instructed Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, to urgently push for a UNSC meeting to address the situation.
According to officials, Pakistan plans to inform the Security Council about what it describes as India’s aggressive actions, provocations, and inflammatory rhetoric. A key focus will be India’s recent moves to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, which Pakistan views as a violation of international agreements.
The government will also highlight how, in its view, India’s conduct is threatening peace and stability not only in South Asia but potentially beyond the region.
This diplomatic push is part of Pakistan’s broader strategy to ensure the international community is fully informed of its position and to counter what it sees as false narratives.
Tensions between the two neighbors have spiked since a deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam earlier this month, which Indian media report killed at least 25 people. India has blamed Pakistan for the attack—an allegation Islamabad has firmly denied.
