After their meeting on March 2 with the Chinese Minister on the sidelines of the gathering of G20 Foreign Ministers in New Delhi, Dr S Jaishankar described the current state of the bilateral relations as “abnormal”.No such strong words were used for the May 4 meeting. The SCO Ministers’ Conference will be held on May 5.

Taking to Twitter, Dr S Jaishankar said, “A detailed discussion with State Councillor and FM Qin Gang of China on our bilateral relationship. Focus remains on resolving outstanding issues and ensuring peace and tranquillity in the border areas. Also discussed SCO, G20 and BRICS.”

In March, Dr S Jaishankar had also said that the “bulk of our conversation” was on the “current state of our relationship,” which were “abnormal”. “Those are the adjectives I used in that meeting,” Dr S Jaishankar said, adding that there are “real problems” and the two sides “need to talk about it openly and candidly”.

Dr S Jaishankar also held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and later the External Affairs Minister said, “Comprehensive review of our bilateral, global and multilateral cooperation with FM Sergey Lavrov of Russia. Appreciated Russia’s support for India’s SCO presidency. Also discussed issues pertaining to G20 and BRICS.”

The Russian Foreign Ministry said, “a trust-based exchange of views on the main issues of bilateral relations, including the schedule of upcoming contacts, as well as topical issues on the global and regional agenda took place. The ministers praised the dynamics of cooperation in key areas of the special and privileged strategic partnership between our countries.”

The Council of Foreign Ministers’ meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) grouping is underway in Goa. The meeting is being held on May 4 and 5.

Members of SCO countries, including Foreign Minister of Pakistan Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, have arrived in Goa for the two-day meeting.

The SCO Foreign Minister meeting will give India and other member countries a platform to discuss multilateral cooperation and several vital and disputed issues. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is an eight-member multilateral organisation established on June 15, 2001 in Shanghai.
