Jaishankar, made an unexpected visit to Pakistan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit.

The CHG is typically attended by ministers rather than heads of state, and last year, Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar represented India at the CHG meeting in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Pakistan's foreign minister at the time, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, visited India in 2022 for an SCO forei...
