SCO condemns Pahalgam terror attack, Trump's aide Peter Navarro targets India again

In this episode of India Today Global, the focus is on India's diplomatic balancing act at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin. The programme examines the dynamics of Prime Minister Modi's interactions with China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin amidst a tariff war with the United States. A key development is the SCO's joint declaration, which mentioned the Pahalgam terror attack but also included attacks in Pakistan, a move viewed as China hyphenating the two nations. The discussion explores whether US policies, including additional tariffs and controversial remarks by adviser Peter Navarro, are pushing India towards the China-Russia bloc. An expert describes the current situation as a 'geopolitical dance, which is not leading to marriage or courtship or anything.' The show also covers Pakistan's military engagement with China and a major earthquake in Afghanistan.
