SCO membership: diplomatic breakthrough in country's history

ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 12th Jun, 2017 ) : Permanent membership of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is undoubtedly an important milestone and a major diplomatic and strategic breakthrough in Pakistanis 70 years history, Senator Abdul Qayyum here Monday said.

Talking to APP, he said this step has proved that Pakistan surely is part of the solutions and not problems as propagated by Indo-Israel lobbies.

He said Indian designs to push Pakistan towards diplomatic isolation have been frustrated and in fact this move will now put more pressure on India to stop state terrorism in Kashmir and cooperate for its solution.

Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif's meetings with Afghan and Russian presidents were highly fruitful and rewarding for Pakistan. Pakistan being gateway to Central Asian Republics will play pivotal role in the promotion of trade, economic growth, security and connectivity, he added.
