7.8% growth.

Strong numbers.

Even stronger confidence.

[India in USA @IndianEmbassyUS]

India’s position is clear and consistent.
The so-called Court of Arbitration was illegally constituted in breach of the Indus Waters Treaty. Its “award” on interim measures and the status of the Treaty has no legal standing. India never recognised this body, never appeared before it, and will not be bound by its pronouncements.
Sovereign decisions on the Indus Waters Treaty remain firmly in India’s hands. The Treaty stays in abeyance.
