During the SCO Members Session in Tianjin, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasised the global threat of terrorism, urging unity among member nations to combat it.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday used his address at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Members Session in Tianjin, China, to deliver a strong message on terrorism, with Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif seated in the hall.
Calling terrorism “a challenge to all of humanity,” PM Modi said no country can consider itself safe from the menace. “We have to say clearly and unanimously that no double standards are acceptable on terrorism,” he declared, stressing that SCO nations must act with unity against separatism, extremism and terror financing.
In reference to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, Modi said, “India has been bearing the brunt of terrorism for the last four decades. Recently, we saw the worst side of terrorism in Pahalgam. I express my gratitude to the friendly country that stood with us in this hour of grief.”
In a veiled dig at Pakistan, the Prime Minister asked SCO members whether “the open support of terrorism by some countries” could ever be acceptable. “This attack was an open challenge to every country and person who believes in humanity,” he underlined.
PM Modi also outlined India’s vision for the grouping, built on what he described as the three pillars of “S – Security, C – Connectivity, and O – Opportunity.”
