Syed Ata Hasnain | Strategic stock-taking will mark SCO FMs' Goa meet

Deccan Chronicle  

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is an inter-governmental organisation established in 2001. This year India is the SCO’s chair; by virtue of that a series of meetings under various domains have been organised, the last being the defence ministers’ meeting in New Delhi on April 27-28. In the last SCO summit in Tashkent, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mature advice to President Vladimir Putin resonated with the rest of the world and placed India in a position to play a more proactive role in ending the Ukraine war. Will India’s astute external affairs minister work through the Goa conference to set up something for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seize as an initiative in the July 2023 summit? Besides Ukraine, Sino-Indian bilateral aspects will be under focus at this meeting, but some of that sheen may already have been taken by the two defence ministers’ New Delhi encounter, where the LAC standoff drew greater attention.
