In the two-day meeting, ongoing cooperation in the field of economy, trade, environment, and socio-cultural relations will be discussed and the functioning of the organization will be reviewed. The CHG meeting will be chaired by Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf had agreed to end its protest in the capital on Monday night. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has taken this decision after the government’s assurance that it will allow a medical team to meet Imran Khan. 

PTI had announced a protest

Ahead of the SCO meeting, authorities had banned all meetings with prisoners in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, including Imran Khan.
