EAM S Jaishankar at SCO summit: 'We cannot have double standards on terrorism'

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Thursday attended the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Kazakhstan's Astana. "Speaking of challenges, terrorism would surely rank foremost for many of us. The truth is that it continues to be used by nations as a tool of destabilization. We have had our own experiences with cross-border terrorism. Let us be clear that terrorism in any form or manifestation cannot be justified or condoned. Harbouring terrorists must be strongly condemned. Cross-border terrorism requires a decisive response and terrorism finance and recruitment must be effectively countered. The SCO must never waver in its commitment. We cannot have double standards in this regard...", EAM Jaishankar said.
