External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on June 27 inaugurated an exquisitely designed 'New Delhi Hall' at the SCO Secretariat in Beijing, which he said depicts a “mini-India” and will foster a better understanding of the country's culture.
The virtual inauguration of the hall by Mr. Jaishankar came ahead of next month’s Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit to be held for the first time under India’s Presidency.
The Secretariat of the eight-member SCO grouping comprising China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, India and Pakistan is located in the high-end diplomatic area in Beijing.
