New Delhi, October 31

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will represent India in the 21st meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of Government (CHG), which will be held in the virtual format on Tuesday.

The SCO CHG meeting is held annually and focuses on the trade and economic agenda of the organisation and approves its annual budget. The meeting will be attended by SCO member states, observer states, Secretary General of the SCO, Executive Director of the SCO Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure (RATS), Turkmenistan and other invited guests, stated an MEA release.

“India remains actively engaged in various SCO activities/dialogue mechanisms in the region as well as other multilateral cooperation within the SCO framework,” it added. Jaishankar’s participation comes days before he travels to Moscow for a bilateral meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
