The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the selection of Climate Change Minister Masood Malik to represent Islamabad at the Dialogue of Civilizations of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, scheduled to take place in New Delhi this month. This visit marks the first time a Pakistani minister has traveled to India since May 2023, when former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari visited Goa to participate in the organization's foreign ministers' meeting. This move comes amid ongoing tensions between the two countries, particularly following the military clashes in 2025, regarded as one of the most severe escalations between the sides in decades.
