Amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan over territorial and security issues, the two neighbours have confirmed their participation in the meeting of the South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation’s Council of Ministers, to be held virtually on September 24.

The meeting usually takes place annually on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. But due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the meeting is being organised virtually this year.

As chair of the regional bloc, Nepal will host the meeting which is to focus on seeking a common understanding among member states to convene the stalled 19th SAARC summit, according to Minister for Foreign Affairs Pradeep Gyawali.
