PM Shehbaz will preside over the SCO Council of the Heads of Government meeting
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan is all set to host Shanghai Cooperation Organisation 23rd Heads of Government Summit on October 15 and 16 in the federal capital.
The SCO member states will be represented by the prime ministers of China, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The First Vice President of Iran and External Affairs Minister of India will arrive in Pakistan to attend the SCO Summit. The prime minister of Mongolia will attend the summit as an observer, and deputy chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and foreign minister of Turkmenistan as a special guest.
All visiting member nations are expected to send government heads apart from Pakistan's arch-rival India, who will dispatch its foreign minister in a rare visit to its neighbour.As China's claim over Taiwan and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have seen them clash with the US and Europe, analysts say the SCO is one forum where they are trying to curry regional influence.
"The PTI doesn't want to showcase the positive side of Pakistan to the world," accused Ahsan Iqbal Chaudhary, minister for planning, during a press conference Saturday.Authorities have declared a three-day public holiday for Islamabad and the neighbouring city of Rawalpindi starting Monday, along with road closures to reduce movement around the area.
Pakistan is grappling with a broad uptick in militancy coinciding with the Taliban's 2021 return to power in neighbouring Afghanistan, where Islamabad claims attackers are now taking shelter.Meanwhile, strict security arrangements have been made in the capital for the SCO conference with deployment of army troops.
