Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif told the ‘Express Tribune’ newspaper on the other side of the claims that India’s recent actions and statements have promoted the discussions, but Pakistan has not taken any formal or decisive steps to cancel any of its bilateral agreement with New Delhi. “Currently, no formal decision has been taken to abolish any bilateral agreement.” He indicated that the current bilateral agreements including the Shimla Agreement remain effective, “said the Foreign Office official said.
Khwaja Asif said this?
A day earlier, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Asif claimed that the 1972 Shimla Agreement had become a fruitless document. He had said that the bilateral structure that was built is now over and now the resolution of disputes is possible only through international forums. Asif also questioned the current status of the Indus Water Treaty and said that when the Shimla agreement is over, what will be the future of the rest of the treaties.
Know what is the Shimla Agreement
Meanwhile, let us also know that the Shimla agreement was signed in 1972 after the 1971 war between India and Pakistan. Its purpose was to resolve bilateral issues between the two countries through mutual negotiations. After strict action against terror, the sound of ending it in Pakistan may be rising, but officially this agreement is still in force. (Language)
