The Hindu  

Uzbekistan, historically the crossroad of different Silk roads, is today the venue of the Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended with a host of leaders who are regional strongmen. Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the 8-member SCO group- 4 central Asian countries, China, Russia, India and Pakistan for a summit of many firsts: 1. Inbuilt rivalries in the SCO: India and China, India and Pakistan, within Central Asian countries At the summit PM Modi didn’t meet Xi or Sharif- he came late and skipped dinner, photo ops, and avoided eye contact during 2 photos- the tensions almost overshadowing the conference 6. Talk on Terrorism, but no walk: same day as the SCO summit China again blocked a proposal to designate 26/11 suspect Sajid Mir, and has also blocked India and US moves to designate Rauf Asghar and Abdur Rahman Makki In an interview to The Hindu, Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto said that he believes Masood Azhar is now in Afghanistan, also that Sharif and Modi had not met at the Summit, that Pakistan had not asked India for assistance during the flood, and even cast a doubt over Pakistan’s participation at the SCO in India next year.
