Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar today held a telephone conversation with the Republic of Korea's Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul.

He apprised Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul of the escalating regional situation arising from India's baseless propaganda and unilateral actions, including holding the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance.

Expressing concern over the situation, Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul underscored the importance of resolving issues through dialogue and diplomacy to maintain regional peace and security.  

The two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening multilateral cooperation.

They also agreed to further strengthening bilateral relations through high-level exchanges.
