Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The Kashmir conflict did not prevent cooperation between the governments of India and Pakistan. Both governments worked together to restore the women abducted during Partition to their original families. A long-term dispute about the sharing of river waters was resolved through mediation by the World Bank. The India-Pakistan Indus Waters Treaty was signed by Nehru and General Ayub Khan in 1960. Despite all ups and downs in Indo-Pak relations, this treaty has worked well.
