The moment Pakistan was waiting for has finally arrived. For the first time after a gap of 9 years, the Indian delegation has landed on Pakistani soil. Before Jaishankar, his delegation has reached Pakistan to participate in the meeting of Shanghai Corporation Organization. Preparations for the Indian delegation have started in Pakistan before the SCO meeting. Along with this, the continuation of the summit of Shanghai Organization Corporation in Pakistan. Pakistan is very curious about the visit of Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar to Islamabad. At a large level, ministers in Pakistan are trying to raise the issue in different ways that Pakistan should have bilateral talks with India. However, this is impossible because Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar himself has said that he is not going to Pakistan for bilateral talks. The Pakistan Foreign Ministry responded with great disappointment to this.

Shahbaz eager for the meeting
Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mumtaz Baloch also said that Foreign Minister Jaishankar has given his reply. That means it has become clear that there will be no talks between India and Pakistan. But still, for the last several days there have been reports regarding talks between India and Pakistan. Amidst all this a new information is coming to light. Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is going to hold bilateral talks. A claim is being made in the media report from Islamabad regarding Shehbaz’s schedule. There is mention of his bilateral talks with various countries. No one knows whether the Prime Minister of Pakistan is also with the Foreign Minister of India. Are they going to hold bilateral talks or not? But it is clear that Pakistan has not given up its efforts. Earlier, Maryam Nawaz, daughter of former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, was also seen saying something similar. Regarding the deteriorating situation and climate in her country, Maryam Nawaz had said that there should be talks with India on climate change.

Will Pakistan’s hopes be fulfilled?
For a long time, some official or minister of Pakistan has been advocating that Pakistan should hold talks with India on various issues. Pakistan is most worried about trade at this time. What’s more, its situation with the neighboring country India is going through its worst phase ever. This is the reason why Pakistan is hoping that somehow the tension between the two can be reduced through a meeting.
What is SCO?
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is a permanent intergovernmental international organization established on 15 June 2001 in Shanghai, China. It soon expanded to nine countries with the addition of India and Pakistan in 2017. Russia supported India’s entry as a long-term strategic partner. China also supported its ally Pakistan to prevent the balance of power from tilting in favor of Russia. India was made an observer in the SCO in 2005 and has generally participated in the group’s ministerial-level meetings, which primarily focus on security and economic cooperation in the Eurasian region. The SCO is an influential economic and security bloc and has emerged as one of the largest interregional international organizations.
