The two-day meeting of SCO member states began here on Thursday. Visuals showed Jaishankar greeting Zardari with a “namaste” while avoiding a handshake in the Indian tradition. On his arrival in the coastal state yesterday, Zardari said he looked forward to constructive discussions with his counterparts from friendly countries. Indian diplomat JP Singh (Joint Secretary, Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran Desk) received the Pakistan minister at the airport. Politicians from Pakistan are attending the SCO summit at the invitation of Foreign Minister S Jaishankar.
Zardari said in a video shared by Zardari on Thursday that I am happy to reach Goa to participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. I am leading the Pakistan delegation to the SCO and hope that the Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) of the SCO will be successful.
