Defense Minister Singh: There must not be any double standards in fighting terrorism
Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh rejected double standards in fighting terrorism at an SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) meeting. The remarks were made amid regional security concerns and Pakistan relations.
Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh emphasized the need for equal treatment in fighting terrorism at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting. The remarks come amid escalating border tensions with Pakistan and terror attacks originating from Pakistan.
Achieving consensus among SCO members on counter-terrorism has historically proven difficult. India is calling for an international front against terror activities supported by external powers. China and Russia's divergent interests continue to complicate this issue.
Tension in India-Pakistan relations remains a central theme in India's foreign policy. Multilateral platforms like the SCO are important for regional stability. As India's economy and security remain dependent on border stability, terror financing and cyber threats also rank among growing concerns.
