Trans-boundary Cooperation
Pakistan has a world-renowned history of trans-boundary water cooperation. The Indus Treaty has been thought by many as an example of resilient treaty, while others are quick to point at its shortfalls. For a decade, different groups of politicians, technical experts and non-governmental organizations have arranged meetings and consultations to attempt fostering cooperation around the Kabul river basin.
As third parties are showing sign of interest in the process again, the conference intends to build on past conversations to draft a possible structure for cooperation between Pakistan and Afghanistan. As the international situation evolves it is essential to start preparing for integrated water governance, keeping in mind the challenges emerging from the necessity of water partnership and increasing scarcity.
