India Invites Pakistan to SCO Civilisational Dialogue Forum in New Delhi
India has invited all 10 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) member countries, including Pakistan, to the inaugural Civilisational Dialogue Forum in New Delhi from November 20 to 22. The invitation to Pakistan's Minister for National Heritage and Culture, Aurangzeb Khan Khichi, marks the first such outreach since Operation Sindoor in May 2025. The forum, proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aims to promote cultural ties and people-to-people exchanges among SCO members despite ongoing bilateral tensions. Pakistan's attendance remains unconfirmed, and India maintains its existing Pakistan policy.
