ISLAMABAD: India is reported to have invited Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Umar Ata Bandial and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to attend the meetings of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) scheduled to take place later this year.
MM News has learnt that neither CJP Bandial nor FM Bilawal have responded to the invitations as yet.
The chief justices of the SCO will meet in March while the meeting of the foreign ministers is scheduled for May in Goa.
It may be mentioned here that the SCO is a key regional forum comprising Pakistan, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and India. It focuses primarily on the areas of trade, finance, commerce and socio-economic cooperation among SCO member states.
Currently, the presidency of the forum is held by India, which will organise a series of events, including a conference of the chief justices of member states and a moot of the foreign ministers, this year.
