The Foreign Office highlighted that Mr. Fatemi’s delegation will engage with senior Russian officials, think tanks, and media to contrast Pakistan’s responsible approach with what it describes as India’s aggressive actions. The outreach seeks to mobilize global opinion in favor of peace and diplomacy over conflict.
Meanwhile, the delegation led by Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari includes prominent political leaders and former diplomats who will meet various international stakeholders to discuss the importance of stability in South Asia. Both groups will also press for the urgent restoration of the Indus Waters Treaty, stressing adherence to its original terms as vital for regional cooperation.
