At SCO Summit, PM Modi Sends Across a Veiled Message to China and Pakistan

News 18

For the first time since the LAC stand-off in eastern Ladakh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping came together at a common platform. “India believes that to improve connectivity it is important to respect for the other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he said/ Better connectivity in the SCO region has been India’s pitch since it was inducted as a full-fledged member in 2018. A spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs had then said, “No country can accept a project that ignores its core concerns on sovereignty and territorial integrity.” Modi on Tuesday also sent out a message to Pakistan to refrain from dragging bilateral issues on multilateral platforms like the SCO. In fact, during that SCO meeting of the National Security Advisors virtual meeting in September, Pakistan NSA Moeed Yusuf used the new political map of Pakistan as a backdrop, forcing his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval to leave the meeting after registering a strong complaint. Government sources had said Pakistan’s use of a fictitious map as a backdrop for its representative depicting sovereign Indian territories as part of the country is a blatant violation of the SCO Charter and against all its established norms of safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of SCO member states.
