SCO summit 2025: PM Modi Strongly Condemns Terrorism and Pakistan at SCO Summit in China | ABP NEWS

At the SCO summit held in China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a powerful speech condemning terrorism and highlighting Pakistan’s role in cross-border terrorism. Speaking from the very land where China’s President Xi Jinping and Pakistan’s leaders were present, Modi did not hesitate to call out Pakistan as a supporter of terrorism, especially in the wake of the recent heinous attack in Pahalgam. Modi emphasized that terrorism is not just an attack on India but a challenge to humanity itself. He praised the countries that stood with India during its difficult times, indirectly pointing out that Pakistan and China were not among them. Modi reaffirmed India’s commitment to fight terrorism relentlessly, stressing that there is no tolerance for double standards on this global issue. Experts suggest that while the upcoming joint statement from the SCO summit may or may not explicitly mention Pahalgam or Pakistan by name, references to “cross-border terrorism” are expected. Such acknowledgment would be a significant diplomatic success for India. This firm stance comes amid rising geopolitical tensions and just before Modi’s scheduled bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where economic and security issues are likely to be discussed.
