Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that enduring peace and prosperity in South Asia will remain elusive without good-faith diplomacy and result-oriented dialogue.

Commenting upon the recently held Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers in Bishkek, Qureshi said that it “can help us address challenges common to us all”.

Earlier in the day, a consultative meeting chaired by Qureshi, reviewed the fast-changing situation in the region.

The foreign minister informed the participants of the meeting about his visit to Kyrgyzstan, the recently held meeting of the SCO Council of Foreign Ministers in Bishkek, and his bilateral meetings with his counterparts of different countries there.

He also apprised the meeting on the views exchanged with the Foreign Ministers of China and Russia over the worth-concerning changing situation in the region.

Former foreign secretaries and former ambassadors attended the meeting.
