Pakistan’s Foreign Minister will travel to India next month, the most senior-level visit in seven years
in what is a major diplomatic breakthrough between two neighbours with a long history of fractious relations. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will attend Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s foreign ministers meeting on May 4-5, Pakistan’s foreign ministry confirmed on Thursday. “Our participation in the meeting reflects Pakistan’s commitment to the SCO Charter and processes and the importance that Pakistan accords to the region in its foreign policy priorities,” the foreign ministry said.
But they have been especially contentious since September 2016 after the Indian army said it had conducted “surgical attacks” in the disputed region of Kashmir to foil a “terrorist attack,” according to India’s Director General of Military Operations. In February 2019, tensions between the two countries escalated further after Pakistan claimed to have shot down two Indian fighter jets, a day after India said it launched airstrikes in Pakistani territory.
