In a significant diplomatic development, India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar is set to visit Pakistan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit—marking the first visit by an Indian EAM in nearly a decade. This historic trip comes at a time when Indo-Pak relations have been strained, particularly following the events of 2019. While expectations for bilateral talks remain low, Jaishankar’s participation in the multilateral summit has reignited hopes for diplomatic engagement. The world watches closely as this visit could signal a shift in the regional dynamics between the two nuclear neighbors.
