The Ministry of External Affairs said on Friday that a “structured mechanism” remains in place for the Ganga Water Treaty, weeks before the pact is due to expire. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India continues to engage through the existing framework on the issue.
Jaiswal also said India has invited the Bangladesh Prime Minister to visit New Delhi, but there is no update yet on the treaty’s renewal or on the dates for the trip. He made the remarks during the ministry’s regular briefing.
The Ganga Water Treaty, which governs water sharing between India and Bangladesh, is set to expire in the coming weeks. For now, the MEA said there is no fresh announcement on renewal talks or the proposed visit.
