At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, India and Pakistan took opposing stances on China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged member nations to support the BRI, dismissing concerns as 'narrow political views.' In contrast, India, represented by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, reiterated its opposition, citing debt-related risks and refusing to endorse the project. India remains the only SCO member to not back the BRI, highlighting a significant geopolitical divide within the organization.
