PM Modi said nations using terrorism as a policy instrument and sheltering terrorists must receive a strong message. He also called for dismantling the entire terror ecosystem, including financing, recruitment, radicalisation and safe havens, during the roundtable discussion

Bishkek: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday delivered a strong message against terrorism at the 26th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Bishkek.

“We must speak with one voice that there can be no room for double standards on this serious issue. Countries that use terrorism as an instrument of policy, and that provide shelter and support to terrorists, must be given a firm message: terrorism cannot be a strategic asset for anyone,” PM Modi said.

Besides PM Modi and Sharif, the discussion in the Kyrgyz capital was attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Tajik President Emomali Rahmon.
