Islamabad: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday landed in Islamabad to attend a conclave of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), in the first visit to Pakistan by a senior Indian minister in years.Jaishankar was greeted at the Nur Khan airbase by senior Pakistani officials.

The last Indian Foreign Minister to visit Pakistan was Sushma Swaraj. She had travelled to Islamabad in December 2015 to attend a conference on Afghanistan.Taking to X, EAM Jaishankar shared a photograph and wrote, "A morning walk together with colleagues of Team @IndiainPakistan in our High Commission campus."
