India has signed an MoU under the International Cooperation on Brahmaputra and Sutlej rivers with China.

Both the Brahmaputra River (known as Yarlung Tsangpo in China) and the Sutlej River originate in the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China. India shares the downstream reaches of these rivers with China. India and China have agreements for sharing hydrological data, particularly related to floods, for these transboundary rivers.

While India shares river systems with Pakistan (Indus tributaries like Sutlej) and Bangladesh (Brahmaputra/Jamuna and Ganges/Padma), the specific reference to cooperation on *both* Brahmaputra and Sutlej together points to the upstream country, which is China, where these rivers originate. Nepal is primarily relevant for Ganges tributaries.
