A day ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (CFM) in Tianjin, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar has stated that the “primary mandate” of the grouping is to “combat terrorism, separatism and extremism”. "This is a shared concern and India hopes that zero tolerance for terrorism will be strongly upheld,” the EAM said in his opening remarks during a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday.

Last month, the SCO Defence Ministers’ Meeting held at Qingdao could not adopt a Joint Statement after India’s concerns on terrorism did not reflect in the document. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who had attended the meeting, had laid down the broad contours of India’s transitional shift in its policy against terrorism and had also called upon the member countries to unite in eliminating the menace for collective safety and security.
