India's Role in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Highlights Multilateralism Challenges
India's participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is raising questions about the future of multilateralism. The SCO, which includes countries like China, Russia, and several Central Asian states, focuses on cooperation in areas such as counterterrorism. India's involvement is seen as a strategic move to balance China's influence and maintain regional stability. The SCO's activities, including intelligence sharing and training, aim to address terrorism, separatism, and extremism. India's engagement with the SCO reflects its broader diplomatic strategy of 'multi-alignment,' balancing relations with various global powers.
