Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar spoke at the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad anniversary event on Monday. He talked about Pakistan's foreign policy plans that focus on economics first. Dar said Pakistan wants to build stronger trade relationships with other countries. The country aims to bring more foreign investment and technology to help grow the economy. Pakistan also supports international law and works with the United Nations on global problems.
Dar discussed recent fights between Pakistan and India that happened in May 2025. India made false claims after an attack and started aggressive actions against Pakistan. Pakistan fought back with stronger force to show India cannot bully the country. The fighting lasted four days before both sides agreed to stop. Several friendly nations helped Pakistan and India reach a peace agreement.
Pakistan refuses to accept India's attempt to control water supplies through the Indus Waters Treaty. India tried to cancel this important water agreement without proper legal reasons. Dar said India cannot use water as a weapon against Pakistan. The Kashmir region dispute still needs a fair solution that follows United Nations decisions. Pakistan believes the people of Kashmir should decide their own future.
Dar also condemned recent attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States. These countries attacked Iranian nuclear facilities and broke international laws. Pakistan supports Iran's right to defend itself from these illegal attacks. The violence in the Middle East threatens peace across the entire region. Pakistan calls for peaceful solutions to prevent more dangerous conflicts.
