India has clarified that it did not participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s (SCO) June 14 statement condemning Israeli airstrikes on Iran. The Ministry of External Affairs reiterated India’s consistent call, first articulated on June 13 for diplomacy and dialogue to de‑escalate the conflict. While the SCO, led by China and including Russia and Pakistan, issued a strong rebuke of Israeli actions, India maintained its neutrality, expressing concern over the escalation but deliberately distancing itself from the group’s collective stance. This move underscores India’s diplomatic balancing act, avoiding alignment with any escalatory condemnations while urging restraint and peaceful resolution. (PC: AP News & The New York Times)
