He brought to attention the importance of security, peace, and stability towards the growth of countries, India's connectivity endeavors for Afghanistan and Central Asia, and suggested the creation of a Civilisational Dialogue Forum to bring the world's cultural aspects of SCO member countries.

Addressing the 25th meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO in Tianjin, PM Modi said, "As an active and committed member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), India has consistently played a constructive and positive role in advancing the organisation's objectives. India's engagement within the SCO framework is guided by three key pillars: Security, Connectivity, and Opportunity."

Highlighting the security front, PM underscored that security, peace, and stability serve as the foundation for the progress and development of any nation.

"Achieving these goals is often hindered by significant challenges such as terrorism and separatism. Terrorism is not merely a threat to the security of individual states but a grave challenge to humanity as a whole." He spoke about the dastardly Pahalgam terror attack and said, "India has been bearing the brunt of terrorism for the last four decades. Recently, we saw the worst side of terrorism in Pahalgam. I express my gratitude to the friendly countries that stood with us in this hour of grief."
