The Ministry of External Affairs on Friday said that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will be travelling to Pakistan to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit scheduled to take place in October.
After External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's arrival in Sri Lanka, he was welcomed by Foreign Affairs Minister Vijitha Herath at the Ministry in Colombo, where both leaders discussed a range of matters of mutual interest.
External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, highlighted the need for mutual respect and boundaries in international diplomacy, particularly between democracies, during a recent discussion on India-US relations at the Carnegie Endowment office in Washington, DC.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar held a meeting with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Wednesday and held discussion on bilateral cooperation.
"Structurally, our relationship with our neighbours would be much stronger than it has been since independence. And the reason was very simple. If you look today at how much more regionalized we have become," Jaishankar said.
Speaking at the conversation at the Carnegie Endowment in the US, he called Hamas' attack on Israel a "terrorist attack," and added that Israel had a need to respond and added that India believes that any response by any country has to take into account international humanitarian law.
