Pakistan has been acknowledged by India for successfully organizing the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit.
Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar extended congratulations to Pakistan during his speech at the SCO gathering, noting India’s full backing to ensure the summit’s success.
Jaishankar highlighted that the summit is taking place against a backdrop of challenging global circumstances, with significant ongoing conflicts having a profound effect on the international landscape.
He further noted that the COVID-19 pandemic inflicted severe damage on developing nations, while climate change continued to negatively impact global economies.
The minister also emphasized the serious issue of mounting debt, which poses a major hurdle to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In addition, Jaishankar referenced Article 1 of the SCO Charter, which advocates for building mutual trust, fostering friendly relations, and maintaining good neighborly ties.
He underscored the importance of sincere dialogue, stating, “If trust and cooperation are lacking, it’s crucial to confront those challenges.”
