Defense Minister Rajnath Singh Urges United SCO Action Against Terrorism at Defence Ministers\u2019 Meet in China.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Qingdao, China:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers\u2019 Meeting<\/strong> held in Qingdao, Defense Minister\u00a0Rajnath Singh<\/strong> delivered a firm and unambiguous message calling for collective and decisive action against terrorism<\/strong>, asserting that every act of terrorism is criminal and unjustifiable<\/strong>, irrespective of its origin or intent. The address outlined India\u2019s evolving counter-terrorism strategy and emphasized multilateral cooperation in the face of modern threats.<\/p>\n

Key Highlights:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \u201cPeace and prosperity cannot co-exist with terrorism<\/strong> and the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction in the hands of non-state actors,\u201d Rajnath Singh stated.<\/li>\n
  • Emphasizing accountability, he called for bringing to justice the perpetrators, organisers, financiers, and sponsors of terrorism<\/strong>, including those engaging in cross-border terror.<\/li>\n
  • Singh denounced double standards<\/strong> in dealing with terrorism and highlighted the need for SCO nations to condemn state-sponsored terrorism without hesitation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Operation Sindoor: India\u2019s Assertive Counter-Terror Response<\/h3>\n

    The Minister revealed details of Operation Sindoor<\/strong>, launched in retaliation to the recent Pahalgam terror attack<\/strong> in Jammu & Kashmir, carried out by The Resistance Front<\/strong>, a proxy of the UN-designated terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. \u201cVictims were targeted based on religious profiling. India exercised its sovereign right to self-defence<\/strong> and demonstrated that the **epicentres of terrorism are no longer safe. We will not hesitate to target them,\u201d he declared.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      Radicalisation & Technological Threats<\/h3>\n

      Rajnath Singh urged SCO countries to adopt proactive steps against radicalisation<\/strong>, particularly among the youth, highlighting the importance of the RATS (Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure)<\/strong> mechanism.
      \nHe warned of emerging tech-enabled threats<\/strong>, including the use of drones for cross-border trafficking of weapons and narcotics<\/strong>, and stressed that traditional borders are insufficient in today’s interconnected world.<\/p>\n

      Broader Security Challenges<\/h3>\n

      Beyond terrorism, the Raksha Mantri addressed non-traditional security threats<\/strong> like:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Cyber attacks<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Hybrid warfare<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Pandemics<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Climate change<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Food and water insecurity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        He emphasized India’s global initiatives like the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI)<\/strong>, which focuses on infrastructure risk management and humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n

        India\u2019s Global Outlook & Multilateralism<\/h3>\n

        Singh described globalisation\u2019s decline<\/strong> and the weakening of multilateral systems<\/strong> as significant geopolitical concerns. He advocated for reformed multilateralism<\/strong>, based on dialogue and cooperation, to prevent future conflicts.<\/p>\n

        \n

        \u201cIndia’s motto of \u2018One Earth, One Family, One Future\u2019<\/strong>, rooted in our philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam<\/strong>, should guide our collective global response,\u201d he stated.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

        Afghanistan, Connectivity & Regional Stability<\/h3>\n

        Reiterating India\u2019s support for a stable Afghanistan, Singh spoke about India\u2019s developmental assistance and capacity-building efforts. He also emphasized the need for better connectivity with Central Asia<\/strong>, highlighting that such initiatives must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity<\/strong> of SCO member states.<\/p>\n

        India’s Vision: SAGAR & MAHASAGAR<\/h3>\n

        He concluded by reaffirming India’s commitment to regional growth and security through initiatives like:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • SAGAR<\/strong> (Security and Growth for All in the Region)<\/li>\n
        • MAHASAGAR<\/strong> (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Singh called for greater mutual trust among SCO nations<\/strong> and a collective approach<\/strong> to solving the pressing issues of the present day.<\/p>\n

          \n

          \u201cWe must act in unison to strengthen security and stability in our neighbourhood. The safety of our citizens and the future of our region depend on our cooperation today,\u201d he asserted, underscoring India\u2019s readiness to lead and collaborate in building a secure, peaceful and prosperous regional order.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
