| Summary / Abstract (Note) |
The SCO has become one of the world’s leading political,
economic and security organisations. It considers international
terrorism, national separatism and religious extremism as the
main sources of threat to peace and stability in the region. India
would like to utilise the SCO platform to advance its security interests
and for boosting its outreach to the Central Asian region through
trade and connectivity. Despite a common understanding of the “three
evil forces”, there remains a wide variance, specifically on cross-border
terrorism, amongst SCO members on the one hand and India on the
other. In such a situation, the Government of India finds it very difficult
to explain to the other SCO member states regarding Pakistan’s
involvement in the separatist movement in Kashmir. Hence, only
sharing of information within the framework of the Regional AntiTerrorist Structure (RATS) is possible in the SCO, not a joint struggle
against terror |
