India-Pakistan tensions flare again at the United Nations General Assembly as Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar raises the Indus Waters Treaty at an OIC Contact Group meeting in New York. Dar cites the recent arbitration ruling on the treaty and argues that India cannot unilaterally place the agreement in abeyance. India rejects that position, maintaining that the arbitration proceedings have no jurisdiction over India’s sovereign decision. New Delhi also pushes back against the OIC’s references to Jammu and Kashmir and says the grouping has no locus standi on matters internal to India.

US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor arrives in Ladakh, marking the first such visit by a top US diplomat since the 2020 Galwan clashes. The strategically important region remains a key India-China flashpoint along the LAC. Gor's visit, following his Kashmir engagements, is drawing attention in Beijing and highlighting the growing strategic depth of India-US ties. His earlier remark calling Kashmir “an important part of India” has also triggered a strong reaction from Pakistan.
