According to Express News, Barkha Dutt’s visit aligns with Pakistan’s preparations for the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit.

Her meeting with the Pakistan Muslim League (N) leadership took place as international media representatives began arriving in Pakistan to cover the high-profile event.

Pakistan is set to host the 23rd Council of Heads of Government meeting of the SCO summit in Islamabad on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Prime ministers and senior officials from SCO member countries will attend the meeting, including Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Iran's First Vice President. India's External Affairs Minister and China's Premier Li Qiang will also participate.

According to media reports, delegations from various countries have already arrived in Islamabad, including a four-member team from India, 76 representatives from Russia, 15 officials from China, a two-member Iranian delegation, and four officials from Kyrgyzstan.

Previously Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar ruled out the possibility of bilateral talks during the SCO summit.

In response to a question at an event, he stated that while media attention is expected due to the nature of relations, the summit will be a multilateral event.
