Skand Tayal | From Samarkand to New Delhi 2023: Can SCO become more meaningful?

Deccan Chronicle  

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation recent summit in Samarkand last week -- the 22nd meeting of its council of heads of state of eight member nations and some observer states – drew much global attention as it was the first large summit-level gathering in the post-Covid era, and was being held in the background of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and US-China tensions. The summit brought Prime Minister Narendra Modi face to face with China’s President Xi Jinping and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in one room for several events. In his remarks for the media before the closed meeting, Mr Modi pointedly told President Putin that “it is not an era of war”, and that talks “will get us an opportunity to talk about how can we progress on the path of peace”. The other significant bilateral meet of Mr Modi was with Turkey’s hard-liner President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
