Theme Of The Event:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an SECURE SCO is the event’s theme.  Prime Minister Narendra Modi had floated the concept of SECURE at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in China in 2018. The prime minister defined the SECURE idea as \u2018S\u2019 for security for citizens, \u2018E\u2019 for economic development, \u2018C\u2019 for connectivity in the region, \u2018U\u2019 for unity, \u2018R\u2019 for respect of sovereignty and integrity, and \u2018E for environment protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About The SCO Presidency:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SCO rotating presidency was handed over to India at Samarkand, Uzbekistan. India will serve as the group’s president from September 2022 until September 2023. Russian President Vladimir Putin extended his good wishes to India for hosting the 23rd edition of the summit next year. Apart from Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping also congratulated India on assuming the presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) for 2023. \u201cWe will support India for its presidency next year,\u201d Jinping stated at SCO Summit in Uzbekistan. Notably, India will take over the rotating annual chairmanship of the SCO, which is now held by Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significance of India\u2019s Presidency:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until September 2023, India would be the President of the SCO. This rotational presidency is significant for India for three major reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. First, from a regional perspective, amidst the tensions over the Sino-Indian border and politically unstable neighbourhood, being the first South Asian country host of SCO, how India would project itself would be significant for the region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Second, from a geopolitical perspective, New Delhi could be seen renewing its policy towards Central Asia which also implies a change in understanding of the extended territorial neighbourhood. As a result, the upcoming presidency would have a big impact on New Delhi’s ability to reach out to countries in Central Asia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Third, the SCO presidency is preceded by India\u2019s non-permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council and would be followed by India hosting the G-20 summit. Thus, the tenure will reflect any continuity or change in New Delhi\u2019s understanding of multilateralism and its behaviour in international and regional organisations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
