Why Jaishankar to Attend SCO Meeting in Pakistan: First Visit in 9 Years

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will visit Pakistan on October 15 and 16 to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Heads of Government meeting, marking the first visit by an Indian Foreign Minister to Pakistan since 2015. The meeting, presided over by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, will involve discussions on cooperation in economy, trade, and environmental issues, with notable attendance from leaders of China, Russia, and other member states.

Jaishankar emphasized that his visit is strictly for the multilateral event and does not include plans for bilateral talks with Pakistan. He reiterated India's stance that discussions on India-Pakistan relations will not occur until Pakistan ceases its support for terrorism. This position reflects the longstanding tensions between the two nations, primarily fueled by concerns over cross-border terrorism.

Pakistan's Foreign Office confirmed the visit and noted that it is prepared to welcome all SCO members. Despite the frosty relations, Jaishankar's participation is significant, as it highlights India's commitment to regional engagement while adhering to its security concerns. His last visit to Pakistan was in December 2015, when Sushma Swaraj attended a conference on Afghanistan.
