The Tianjin Declaration, signed by the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), strongly condemned the April 22, 2025 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives. The member states expressed condolences to the victims’ families and demanded that those responsible be brought to justice. Reaffirming their commitment to combating terrorism, separatism, and extremism, the declaration emphasized that terrorist groups must not be used for political or mercenary purposes. It recognized the central role of sovereign states in countering such threats and rejected the use of double standards in the global fight against terrorism. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a pointed message delivered in the presence of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, questioned the acceptability of nations openly supporting terrorism. Modi urged the SCO to adopt a zero-tolerance approach, stressing that the international community must act decisively against terrorism in all its forms. #modi #scosummit #terrorism #india #pakistan Moneycontrol is India’s leading financial portal, offering market news, expert analysis, and powerful tools.
