Sushma Swaraj leaves for Sochi to represent India at SCO

New Delhi [India], Nov 29 (ANI): External Affairs Minister (EAM) Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday left for the Russian city of Sochi to represent India at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).

The SCO Summit will be held on November 30 and December 1.

EAM Swaraj will have bilateral meetings with several leaders on the sidelines of the summit.

Swaraj will attend the restricted meeting of the heads of delegations on December 1, which will be followed by the preliminary sessions.

She will also attend the reception hosted by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on the same evening.
