Delivered 🇮🇳’s national statement at the SCO Council of Heads of Government meeting today morning in Islamabad.
SCO needs to be able and adept at responding to challenges facing us in a turbulent world. In this context, highlighted that:
➡️ SCO’s primary goal of combatting terrorism, separatism and extremism is even more crucial in current times. It requires honest conversation, trust, good neighborliness and reaffirming commitment to SCO Charter. SCO needs to be firm and uncompromising in countering the ‘three evils’.
➡️ Globalization and rebalancing are current day realities. There’s need for SCO countries to take this forward.
➡️ Cooperation must be based on mutual respect and sovereign equality, recognize territorial integrity and sovereignty and be built on genuine partnerships, not unilateral agendas. SCO cannot progress if we cherry-pick global practices, especially of trade and transit.
➡️ Industrial cooperation can enhance competitiveness and expand labour markets. MSME collaboration, collaborative connectivity, environmental protection and climate action are possible avenues. Whether it is health, food or energy security, we are clearly better off working together.
➡️ Indian initiatives and endeavors like DPI, women-led development, ISA, CDRI, Mission LiFE, GBA, Yoga, Millets, International Big Cat Alliance etc. hold strong relevance for the SCO.
➡️ SCO should lead advocating that global institutions need to keep pace through reformed multilateralism to make UNSC more representative, inclusive, transparent, efficient, effective, democratic and accountable.
To renew our resolve to attain the objectives of the SCO, it is essential that we keep in mind mutuality of interests and abide by the do’s and don’ts of the Charter.
SCO represents the forces of change on whom much of the world puts great store. Let us live up to that responsibility.

Prime Minister @narendramodi and I agree: The West and the countries of the global South must combine forces to further pursue the path chosen at the peace summit in Switzerland. Also in this regard, India has a crucial role. The war in the Ukraine must end; Austria will make every possible effort and is also ready to serve as a venue for dialog. 🇦🇹🤝🇮🇳

Proudly, just a few hrs earlier, saw the ‘highest compassion quotient’ among our Indian children in the amazing movement created by my innovation guru @anilgb
I was giving away Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Ignited Mind Children Creativity and Innovation Awards 2023
16 winners among 16,575 entries from 23 states - each showed compassion.
Touching examples…
Devices installed at bus stops that alert the conductor before a pregnant lady boards a bus, device that steadies a hand with a tremor ( see below)
And many more for the helping the blind, alleviating the pain…
Kailash ji, in Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion @smgc_official, our Indian children can be Global Leaders in Compassion!

The big change after 2014 in India is a strong sense of Bharat First, where we have both the confidence to think through the pathway and using national interest as the primary metric of judgment. This has encouraged us to pursue a multi-vector diplomacy that maximizes partners and minimizes problems.
Today’s India is a Viswa Bandhu that carries everyone along. This is an important element of #ModiKiGaurantee.
