Pahalgam’s Mention in SCO’s Declaration Marks Shift in India’s Stance on Terrorism

Ten weeks can make a significant difference in diplomacy, as demonstrated during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China. This was evident in the joint declaration of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) on September 1, which notably condemned the Pahalgam terror attack. The mention of this attack in the declaration signifies a shift in India’s approach to terrorism on the international stage. The move from a walkout to a win within just 10 weeks showcases India’s diplomatic prowess and strategic alignment with key SCO members like China, Russia, and Iran.
