The meeting will discuss preparations for the upcoming meeting of the Head of State Head of State in Samarkand for 15-16 September, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday.

Foreign ministers will review sustainable cooperation for the expansion of the SCO organization and exchange ideas about regional and global developments that are of mutual concern, the Ministry said.

Jaishankar, who visited the invitation of the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Uzbekistan Vladimir Norov, was likely to meet his colleague in China Wang Yi on the outskirts of the SCO meeting. If the meeting is running, this will be the second time this month that Jaisankar and Wang will hold talks in between multilateral events.

However, there is a slight optimism in New Delhi for every breakthrough movement or in the future in the two -year -old military deadlock in the actual control line (LAC), given the position adopted by both parties.

Jaisankar and Wang have held talks about the margin of the G20 Foreign Minister’s meeting in Indonesia on July 7. Minister is not ruled out.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will also attend the SCO meeting. There was no news about the possibility of a meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of India and Pakistan.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to attend the meeting of the SCO Defense Minister in Uzbekistan next month, preparing the possibility of a bilateral meeting with his colleague in China Wei Fenghe.

At his last meeting with Wang on July 7, Jaisankar called for the “initial resolution” of all extraordinary problems along LAC and reiterated the need to resolve troops in all friction points to restore peace and calm in the border area.
