Pakistan spends nearly $6 million on arbitration over India’s hydropower projects

Pakistan is paying for a case at an arbitration court in The Hague over two hydropower projects in India.

The reported total is almost $6 million, including money the court sought from India.

India has not taken part in the arbitration and says it does not recognise the court.

The spending comes as Pakistan cuts government costs, raising questions about how it is using public funds.
