Story summary

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) national coordinators are scheduled to meet in Islamabad from September 28-30, 2026. This meeting is part of Pakistan's chairmanship for the year 2026-27 and will focus on discussing activities under its leadership. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has initiated plans to upgrade the Jinnah Convention Centre and construct a new block specifically for the upcoming SCO summit, while ensuring 4,000 top-class hotel rooms are available in Islamabad. Despite more than 4,000 hotel rooms being available across various hotels in the city, about 1,000 rooms do not meet international standards, prompting CDA to address this issue ahead of the meeting.

India is one of the key participants among the member states, which include Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, and China. The Indian delegation, led by its National Coordinator Alok Dimri, will join discussions chaired by Pakistan's National Coordinator Mohammad Faisal to enhance cooperation and prepare for the SCO Heads of State summit scheduled for August 2027 in Islamabad.
