EAM Jaishankar arrives in Islamabad to attend SCO meeting
ISLAMABAD, Oct 15 (PTI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday landed in Islamabad to attend a conclave of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), in the first visit to Pakistan by a senior Indian minister in years.
Jaishankar was greeted at the Nur Khan airbase by senior Pakistani officials.
It is the first time in nearly nine years that India’s foreign minister travelled to Pakistan even as the ties between the two neighbours remained frosty over the Kashmir issue and cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan.
