New Delhi: Pakistan has officially invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meeting in Islamabad in October, ANI reported citing Geo News.
During a weekly press briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Pakistan has invited all heads of government of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) member states, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to the upcoming meeting of the Council of Heads of Government (CHG) in Islamabad.
Baloch added that Islamabad has already received some confirmations for the SCO meeting, which Pakistan will host on October 15 and 16, ANI reported citing Geo News.
Pakistan’s official confirmation of invitations to the heads of SCO member states came just two days after Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that Prime Minister Modi would be invited to the regional summit.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs had earlier rejected media reports suggesting that Prime Minister Modi would not attend the upcoming SCO summit in Pakistan.
The SCO is a permanent intergovernmental international organization founded on June 15, 2001 in Shanghai, China. It was established by Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, building on the previous mechanism of the Shanghai Five.
The SCO currently consists of nine member states, including the Republic of India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the People’s Republic of China, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan and the Republic of Uzbekistan.
