Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has urged the European Union to guide the region back to a diplomatic path, asking for a comprehensive dialogue that includes Kashmir, water and trade disputes.
The statement occurs after the Pakistani delegation, directed by the president of the PPP, arrived in Brussels on Wednesday. This follows successful visits to Washington, New York and London, aimed at counteracting Indian propaganda following recent tensions between Pakistan and India.
In a meeting with the vice president of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Belgian Parliament, Katleen Deporeter, on Thursday, Bilawal shared Pakistan’s serious concerns regarding the Indian approach.
“We have a stop the fire, but not peace. India’s threats to arm water, its rejection of dialogue and the refusal to defend UNSC resolutions have dangerously reduced the threshold of the nuclear conflict in southern Asia,” he said.

He pointed out that such dialogue would open roads for anti -terrorism cooperation. “Peace should not be partisan,” Bilawal said, reiterating that dialogue remains the only way to regional stability.
Bilawal also recognized the position of EU principles on diplomacy, the rule of law and its support for GSP+. “The role of the EU in the promotion of human rights reforms and inclusive legislation in Pakistan has been invaluable,” he said.
Previously, speaking with the media in Brussels, after a meeting with Bernd Lange, president of the International Trade Committee of the European Parliament, Bilawal highlighted the importance of dialogue to address these long -standing conflicts.
“War cannot be a solution to any problem. All matters, including Kashmir and water, must be resolved through dialogue,” he said.

The former Foreign Minister emphasized that Pakistan’s message communicated to the European Union during the visit of the parliamentary delegation, which stresses that stability and peaceful coexistence are key to maximizing regional trade and prosperity.
He also approached the recent decisions of India on the Treaty of the Water of the Indo, which describes the unilateral actions of India as a violation of international law. “The actions of India with respect to the treaty undermine international agreements, and the EU firmly supports adhesion to these treaties,” he added.
In his comments on the ongoing conflict, Bilawal said that India’s aggression against Pakistan represents a violation of international law and raises a significant threat to regional peace.
Climate Change Minister Musadik Malik further clarified Pakistan’s position, and pointed out that India has no legal motives to abandon the Treaty of the Indo’s waters.

Previously, in an exclusive interview with the BBC, Bilawal warned that any attempt to block Pakistan’s water supply could lead to war. “If India stops our water supply, it will lead to war,” he said.
“India has made an important announcement about the Treaty of the Water of the Indo, and if they continue, there will be war,” said Bilawal. He warned that such actions would establish a dangerous precedent for the use of water as a weapon in international relations.
In Pahalgam’s attack, he said that Indian supporters in the United States have not provided any evidence that links Pakistan with the incident.
He stressed that Pakistan’s efforts against terrorism are recognized worldwide. “The United States is aware of how Pakistan deals with terrorist groups,” he added.

He pointed out the successful efforts of Pakistan to get the Gray list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). “We completed the entire Fatf process, and the United States were part of it. They saw first hand how Pakistan acted against these groups,” he said.
The PPP leader also talked about his recent diplomatic visits to the United States and the United Kingdom, calling them a success.
He said: “Our position is based on the truth, and we have come with a message of peace. We want to participate in the dialogue, especially taking into account the imminent nuclear risk. Each individual we know is not only listening to our position, but also appreciates it and expresses the will to help.”

When asked about India’s position on the swing of the Indo’s waters, Bilawal expressed concern about the irresponsible position taken by New Delhi.
“If you allow water to be used as a weapon in the context of Pakistan, then tomorrow it can be used against any other person. Someday, it could even be India,” he warned.
He reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to peace, but made it clear that any attempt to interrupt Pakistan’s water supply would meet serious consequences. “If India cuts our water supply, there will be war,” he concluded.
