The Impressive TimesExternal Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar will lead the Indian delegation at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Astana on July 4th. This 24th Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State will be presided over by Kazakhstan.
The Ministry of External Affairs stated that during the summit, leaders will review the organization’s activities over the past two decades and discuss the state and prospects of multilateral cooperation. They are also expected to address topical issues of regional and international importance.
India’s priorities in the SCO are shaped by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘SECURE’ SCO, which stands for Security, Economic cooperation, Connectivity, Unity, Respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and Environmental protection. Notably, India hosted the 23rd Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State last year on July 4th in a virtual format under its first-ever presidency of the SCO.
