1. Which country will External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar visit to attend the SCO Heads of Government meeting on October 15-16, 2024?
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will lead India's delegation to Pakistan for the SCO Heads of Government meeting, marking the first visit by an Indian EAM since 2015. The visit is focused on regional cooperation, with no bilateral meetings planned. This meeting is significant as it comes at a tense time in India-Pakistan relations, which have been strained since 2019. The SCO meeting provides a platform for regional cooperation, and India's participation underscores its commitment to the organization. Jaishankar's visit is a follow-up to Pakistan's invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the SCO summit.
