◆Moscow to host Sino-Pak-Russia defence, foreign ministers summit
【Islamabad】Two sets of back-to-back meetings of Pakistan, China and Russian defence ministers followed by foreign ministers of the three countries in Moscow in second and third week of September would prove to be an important regional development in the wake of global turbulence created by power centres resisting creation of multi-polar world and establishment of new regional blocks.
The ministers will be guest in Kremlin for having the meetings on the brinks of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) multilateral conclaves of eight countries of the region.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told The News on August 31 evening from Multan that the formal decision would be taken upon his returning to the federal capital.
Indian ministers will also be attending the conclaves and they too will also avail the opportunity to rub their shoulders with the visiting ministers of the member countries.
