Noting that terrorism in any form cannot be justified and continues to be used by nations as a tool of destabilisation, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that cross-border terrorism requires a decisive response and terrorism financing must be effectively countered.
In his remarks at the meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of States recently, PM Modi emphasised on reliable and resilient supply chains and said that ‘Make in India’ can add to engines of global growth and help democratize the global economy.

PM Modi’s remarks were delivered by External Affairs MinisterS Jaishankar, who was present at the meeting. The theme of the meeting was ‘Strengthening Multilateral Dialogue – Striving for Sustainable Peace and Development’.
PM Modi noted that the world is inexorably moving towards real multipolarity and while Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) will only become more important, its true value will depend on how well members cooperate among themselves.
“The world is currently experiencing profound shifts driven by geopolitical tensions, geo-economic forces and geo-technological advancements. They all have sweeping implications. As we look ahead, there are both immediate and systemic challenges and opportunities arising from them,” PM Modi said.
“Even as we address those, let us be clear that the world is inexorably moving towards real multipolarity. In such a scenario, the SCO will only become more important. But its true value would depend on how well all of us cooperate amongst ourselves. We have already had that discussion within the SCO. The same extends to the extended family as well,” he added.
PM Modi said that SCO cannot have double standards on the issue of fighting terrorism. (ANI)
