SCO Summit: Tackling Narco-Terrorism, Dismantling Terror Ecosystems And Border Drug Trafficking

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) must work unitedly to dismantle the entire ecosystem of terrorism as well as its financing, and there can't be any room for double standards in combating the menace, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday (September 1, 2026).

In his address at the annual SCO summit in this Kyrgyz capital city, the Prime Minister also said that all wars and conflicts in the world must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy as no solution can be found on battlefields.

Mr. Modi also stressed that connectivity projects must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, remarks seen as an oblique reference to China's Belt and Road Initiative.
