Pakistan SCO Summit: Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) conference is going to start in Pakistan from today. Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar will reach Islamabad on Tuesday to attend the SCO summit. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will host the dinner and with this the SCO summit will begin.

Indian Foreign Minister visits Pakistan after 9 years
Let us also note here that both sides have denied any bilateral talks between Jaishankar and his Pakistani counterpart Ishaq Dar on the sidelines of the SCO Heads of Government Summit. Jaishankar’s visit to Pakistan is considered very important. In his recent address, Jaishankar had said, “Like any neighboring country, India would definitely like better relations with Pakistan.” But, this cannot be done by ignoring cross-border terrorism.” This is the first time after almost nine years that the Foreign Minister of India will visit Pakistan. There is information that Jaishankar will stay in Pakistan for less than 24 hours.
Pakistan had invited PM Modi
The last External Affairs Minister of India to visit Pakistan was Sushma Swaraj. He traveled to Islamabad in December 2015 to attend a conference on Afghanistan. Pakistan had invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi in August to participate in the SCO summit.
