The global security landscape is facing several challenges as a result of recent development, which also affects the SCO region, said Ajit Doval on Wednesday at the National Security Advisors meeting in Delhi.

During his opening remarks at18th meeting of the Secretaries of Security Council of SCO member states, NSA Doval said “The global security landscape is faced with several challenges on account of development in recent years. The SCO region is also affected by the impact of these challenges. The charter calls upon the member states to have mutual respect for sovereignty, and territorial integrity of states.”

He went on to say that regional and global security could be extremely beneficial because the SCO charter emphasises maintaining and developing relations with other states and international organisations, as well as cooperating in the prevention of international conflicts.

According to Doval, the Charter requires member states to have mutual respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity of states, non-use of force or threat of force in international relations, and no unilateral military superiority in areas.

In addition, the NSA thanked the top delegates for accepting his invitation to the meeting, saying that their presence will not only enrich the discussions but will also lay the groundwork for a successful summit in a few months.

“We stand ready to cooperate on investing in and building connectivity in the region. Expanding connectivity is also important to ensure that such initiatives are constituted,” he said.
