India scored a diplomatic win at the 2025 SCO summit in Tianjin as member nations condemned the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. This marks a reversal from the Qingdao summit two months prior, where India’s walkout over the omission of the attack in the joint statement made headlines. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s firm stance pushed SCO members including China and Pakistan to acknowledge the incident. The Tianjin declaration emphasized zero tolerance for terrorism, rejected double standards, and called for justice for victims. It also reinforced the role of sovereign states in countering extremist threats, aligning with India’s strategic autonomy and its uncompromising position on cross-border terrorism.
