A spokesperson for Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Saturday that the country has selected its Minister for Climate Change, Mian Asad Umar, to attend the Dialogue of Civilizations of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in New Delhi later this month.
This will be the first visit by a Pakistani minister to India in over three years.
The last high-level visit to India was in May 2023, when then-Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari traveled to the Indian state of Goa to attend a meeting of SCO foreign ministers.
The SCO is a political and security union of countries spanning much of Eurasia, including China and Russia. The regional bloc currently has 10 member states, according to its website.
Relations between Islamabad and New Delhi have been tense since the four-day war that erupted in 2025, marking the worst violence between the two countries in decades.
