AKIPRESS.COM - Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is not scheduled to meet his Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Bishkek, India said.

Modi and Imran Khan will travel to Kyrgyzstan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meet next week, but Indian foreign ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar told reporters that no "bilateral meeting" between the two was being planned, AFP reports.

Both India and Pakistan became members of the SCO in 2017, joining the forum founded in 2001 by Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

The SCO summit is due to be held on 13-14 June in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
