Islamabad, Pakistan – The invitations have all gone out. But when Pakistan hosts the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit next month, there’s one guest above all others whose presence or absence will be most felt: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
On August 29, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Islamabad would host heads of government from the SCO on October 15-16, in what would mark the biggest gathering of top world leaders in the country since a conclave of developing nations in 2012.
