THE much-awaited Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) foreign ministers' meeting begins in Goa on Thursday. Foreign ministers of Russia, China and Pakistan are among those who will attend this meeting in person. The main meeting will be on Friday.
Bilateral talks between external affairs minister S Jaishankar and Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and China's foreign minister Qin Gang are lined up for Thursday.
However, there is no clarity yet on whether there would be any exclusive interaction with Pakistan's foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
Bilawal's is the first visit by a Pakistani foreign minister after a gap of 12 years. India will host a cultural event and a dinner on Thursday evening for his counterparts from China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
