'Countries that use terror...': Modi's message to SCO members, Pakistan among them
The SCO gathering was attended by PM Modi and Sharif, along with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russia's Vladimir Putin, Iran's Masoud Pezeshkian and others.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit on Tuesday, emphasizing the need to dismantle the full "ecosystem of terrorism" and its financing. He specifically targeted Pakistan as being part of the "countries that use terrorism as an instrument of state policy and provide shelter and support to terrorists."
Modi urged all conflicts to be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy, asserting that battlefields cannot offer solutions. He also stressed that connectivity projects must respect each country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Modi outlined the SCO's core vision, which comprises three pillars: Security, Connectivity, and Opportunity, advocating for turning the vision into concrete outcomes.
He called for the 10-member bloc to build upon its 25 years of dialogue and cooperation to deliver tangible results. The summit, attended by leaders from 10 member states, 15 partner countries, and two observer countries, aimed to strengthen dialogue and cooperation on regional and global issues.
