“No bilateral talks”: Jaishankar declares he won’t talk about ties during his unusual trip to Pakistan for the SCO summit

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, who is scheduled to visit Pakistan to attend a conclave of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in mid-October, on Saturday ruled out the possibility of a bilateral meeting between the two countries, saying that his visit would not cover any official talks. Jaishankar also said he would “behave well”.

“The visit will be for a multilateral event. I’m not going there to discuss India-Pakistan relations. I’m going there to be a good member of the SCO. But, you know, since I’m a courteous and civil person, I will behave myself accordingly,” EAM Jaishankar said.
