Speaking at an SCO meeting, Doval stressed that double standards in the fight against terrorism must be abandoned. He urged member states to take decisive action against not only the perpetrators of terrorist acts, but also the organizers and financiers who enable and support such activities.

“Doval’s statement underscores India’s continued commitment to regional security and its firm stance against terrorism in all its forms,” said a security analyst familiar with the meeting. “It highlights the need for greater cooperation and transparency among SCO member states to effectively address the threat of cross-border terrorism.”
