ISLAMABAD: In a significant step towards resolving longstanding territorial disputes, Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Minister Amjad Hussain and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi have agreed to commence negotiations aimed at settling boundary issues between their regions.

The discussions will focus on contentious areas including Shandur Top, Babusar Top, and regions surrounding the Diamer-Bhasha and Dassu dams.

The agreement was reached during a meeting in Islamabad, where both leaders emphasized the importance of dialogue in addressing these historical grievances.

Chief Minister Hussain stated, “It is crucial for the development and harmony of our regions that we resolve these disputes amicably.”

Governor Kundi echoed this sentiment, highlighting that a collaborative approach would foster better relations and mutual understanding.

This agreement holds significant implications for the residents of both regions, as unresolved boundary disputes have historically hindered development projects and strained inter-regional relations.

By addressing these issues, the governments aim to enhance cooperation, which could lead to improved infrastructure and economic opportunities for local communities.

As the negotiations are set to begin, both parties have expressed optimism about reaching a consensus. Future meetings are expected to outline specific frameworks for discussion and establish timelines for resolving the disputes. The outcome of these talks could pave the way for a more stable and prosperous relationship between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan.
