Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari visits India to attend Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting, triggering speculation of thaw in strained ties between the two South Asian nuclear rivals
The Pakistani diplomat's trip has attracted criticism from the main opposition party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf [PTI], which said the visit is meant to please right-wing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
India has stationed over 500,000 troops in the region since 1989 when the popular armed revolt broke against New Delhi's rule. That development came after a military standoff earlier in the year — also centred over Kashmir — that saw both countries launch air strikes and an Indian fighter jet shot down and its pilot captured by Pakistan.
S. Jaishankar, India's foreign minister, met with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov ahead of Friday's meeting to discuss ties and"current global and regional agenda topics", a statement from Moscow said. Jaishankar also sat down with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang on Thursday, a week after the defence ministers of both nations met in New Delhi to discuss military deployments on their disputed Himalayan frontier.
