India Participates in SCO Meeting in Pakistan Amid Regional Connectivity Discussions

The three-day meeting focused on regional connectivity, trade, transit, and preparations for the SCO Heads of State summit in 2027, hosted by Pakistan. Dimri highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for a civilisational dialogue scheduled in New Delhi on November 20. India maintains its stance that bilateral talks require a terrorism-free environment, engaging Pakistan only within the SCO framework.
