In the first such visit in nearly a decade, External Affairs Minister of India S. Jaishankar will visit Islamabad to attend the Heads of Government (HoG) meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) on October 15 and 16, the government announced on Friday.
The EAM Minister Jaishankar’s visit was “mainly” for the SCO grouping’s meeting, given India’s focus on “regional cooperation mechanisms”. No bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the meet have been decided thus far, it added.
