Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and Pakistan's Shehbaz Sharif Exchange Cordial Greetings in Landmark Encounter.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar landed in Pakistan today to attend the two-day SCO meet. It's the first time in nearly nine years that an Indian foreign minister has visited Pakistan.




In Short

S Jaishankar in Islamabad for two-day SCO meet.

Gone to supper facilitated by Shehbaz Sharif, warmly greeted him.

Key courses shut in Islamabad, 3-day occasion announced.

Outside Issues Clergyman S Jaishankar and Pakistan State head Shehbaz Sharif met in Islamabad on Tuesday. The pioneers shook hands and traded good tidings during a casual supper facilitated by Sharif. Jaishankar is in Islamabad for the 23rd gathering of the Committee of Heads of Government (CHG) of the Shanghai Collaboration Association (SCO).

It is without precedent for almost nine years that an Indian unfamiliar clergyman has visited Pakistan, even as the ties between the two neighbors stay chilly over cross-line illegal intimidation exuding from Pakistan. The last Indian Unfamiliar Priest to visit Pakistan was Sushma Swaraj.

HERE ARE THE TOP Turns of events:

S Jaishankar's airplane arrived at the Nur Khan airbase on the edges of Islamabad at around 3:30 pm (neighborhood time) and he was welcomed by senior Pakistani authorities.




The two-day SCO culmination in Pakistan has drawn top pioneers from part states and is occurring under severe safety efforts. Key courses and organizations in both Islamabad and its adjoining city, Rawalpindi, have been closed.

The two India and Pakistan have previously precluded any respective discussions among Jaishankar and his Pakistan partner Ishaq Dar uninvolved of the SCO heads of government highest point.

The pioneers from SCO part states going to the highest point incorporate Chinese Chief Li Qiang, Belarus Top state leader Roman Golovchenko, Kazakhstan Prime Mini­ster Olzhas Bektenov, Russian State head Mikhail Mishustin, Tajik State leader Kohir Rasulzoda, Uzbek State leader Abdulla Aripov, Kyrgyzstan's Director of Pastors Bureau Zhaparov Akylbek, and Iran's Most memorable VP Mohammad Reza Aref.

Jaishankar's visit to Pakistan expects importance as it is viewed as a critical choice for India's benefit. In his new location at an occasion, Jaishankar expressed, "As with any neighbor, India might surely want to have great relations with Pakistan. In any case, that can't occur by neglecting cross-line psychological warfare and enjoying living in fantasy land."
