He further added that SCO should develop a shared template to fight radicalism and extremism. India is committed to increasing its connectivity with Central Asia where the countries can benefit immensely by connecting with India’s vast market. Any connectivity initiative cannot be one-way.

To ensure mutual trust, connectivity projects should be consultative, transparent, and participatory. There should be respect for the territorial integrity of all countries.

“We expect cooperation & support from all SCO countries in the calendar of activities proposed by India under its presidency of the SCO. The fight against radicalization is not just important for regional security and inter-trust, it is important for the future of our youth,” PM Modi said further in his address.
