Terrorism fight still SCO's remit

China Daily  

The emblem unveiled for China's tenure as the rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization for 2024-25. This allows SCO member states such as China and Pakistan to play an important role within the organization to combat the "three evils", particularly through the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure, which is central to the SCO's counterterrorism strategy. With regard to counterterrorism, Pakistan's geographical position and role are crucial given its involvement in megaprojects such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which is seen as a "demonstration project of multilateral Belt and Road Initiative", as stated recently by visiting Chinese Premier Li Qiang during his interaction with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Despite the conventional rivalry between India and Pakistan, the former has participated in SCO summits in the past, focusing on strengthening the fight against terrorism, boosting economic partnership and safeguarding regional stability. Apart from sharing strategies of countering terrorism in the region, the SCO also discusses how to reduce the financial dependence on Western financial systems, specifically on the US dollar and SWIFT, and strengthen regional currencies.
