Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar held a telephone conversation on Friday with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen.

Ishaq Dar briefed the Foreign Minister of Denmark on the evolving regional situation and the measures taken by Pakistan's National Security Committee in response to India's baseless accusations and its unilateral and provocative actions. He strongly rejected India's decision to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, which is a clear violation of treaty provisions and international law.

The Deputy Prime Minister underscored Pakistan's resolve to safeguard its sovereignty and national interests, while contributing to regional peace and security.

Expressing concern over the escalation, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen emphasized the importance of both sides exercising restraint.

The two leaders agreed to maintain close contact on regional and global developments, particularly at the UN Security Council, as non-permanent members.

They also agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation, especially in areas of economy and investment, as well as promoting high-level exchanges.
