Ahead of the crucial Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in China next week, India on Tuesday said that there should be a strong condemnation of terrorism, including cross-border terrorism, in the joint declaration.

The text of the Tianjin declaration is under finalisation, and India is working with other members to ensure that terrorism is condemned in the document, the Ministry of External Affairs said.

“As far as the declaration of the summit is concerned, the text is under finalisation. We are working with other members and partners to see that there should be a reiteration of strong condemnation of terrorism, including cross-border terrorism. But the text is under finalisation," Tanmaya Lal, Secretary (West) said during a joint press briefing with Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

His remarks came in response to a query on the possibility of mentioning terrorism in the joint declaration and what the red lines are that India is thinking of regarding terrorism that should be a part of the document.
