World Bank President Ajay Banga has clarified that the Indus Waters Treaty has not been suspended, though India has halted its implementation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no mechanism to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty,\u201d Banga said, adding that the treaty can either be terminated or replaced\u2014but only if both Pakistan and India agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized that the World Bank’s role in the treaty is that of a facilitator, not an enforcer. \u201cIn case of disputes, we can only assist by appointing neutral experts to help resolve differences,\u201d Banga noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
