PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari expressed pride in Pakistan hosting the SCO summit, emphasizing its significance marked by the attendance of numerous world leaders. Reflecting on his past role as foreign minister, he noted his keen involvement in international affairs.
Importance of the SCO Forum
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari highlighted that according to SCO regulations, bilateral issues, such as those between Pakistan and India, cannot be discussed within the forum. He believes this approach contributes to the SCO’s success, as it allows nations with differing views to come together under a shared vision.
Stance on India and Kashmir
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reiterated Pakistan’s firm position regarding India, stating that discussions with India would remain off the table until the fundamental status of Kashmir is restored to its pre-2019 conditions. He underscored the importance of representing Pakistan’s narrative in the face of India’s foreign policy, which often overlooks Pakistan.
