India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar reached Bishkek on a two-day visit to Kyrgyz Republic. He will lead the Indian delegation for 22nd meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation SCO Council of Heads of Government to be held under the Chairmanship of Kyrgyz Republic.

In a social media post, Dr Jaishankar said he looks forward to productive exchanges at the SCO as well as meeting Kyrgyz leadership and taking forward the bilateral agenda. 

The 22nd Meeting of the Council of Heads of Government of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Member States will be held on Thursday in Bishkek, capital of Kyrgyzstan.

This meeting will be the first in-person meeting of the prime ministers of the SCO member states following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and also the first official meeting of the SCO since Iran became a full member of the group.

Amid an increasingly complex international landscape, the prime ministers are expect to have in-depth discussions on implementing the consensus reached at the SCO summit in July, promoting the organization’s development strategy and formulating practical measures for cooperation in areas such as security, the economy and trade, connectivity and people-to-people exchanges.
