India summons Pakistani diplomat after incident in Arabian Sea

India has summoned Pakistan’s top diplomat in New Delhi in protest against a collision between the two countries’ navies in the Arabian Sea. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs said on Wednesday that a Pakistani naval ship had collided with an Indian warship in international waters the previous day. The ministry said it had lodged a protest with Pakistan’s charge d’Affaires of the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi. It accused Pakistan’s navy of “unacceptable and unprofessional conduct” leading to a collision with an Indian Navy unit. It said the incident violated a 1991 bilateral agreement that requires naval ships and submarines of both countries to keep at least three nautical miles apart in international waters.
