00:00First, on top of India first, let me take you through 10 big messages
00:05from Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the SCO Summit at Bishke.
00:11Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first big message to the world
00:15and this is a very important grouping, whether it's SCO or BRICS,
00:20very powerful grouping, what's that message?
00:23Three pillars of SCO, security, connectivity and opportunity.
00:27The Prime Minister wants the grouping to now move beyond just vision,
00:32let it be more than just Jojo, more than talk shop.
00:35Now deliver, deliver outcomes and they should be measured, measurable outcomes.
00:42His second message was on cross-border terrorism, zero tolerance for terror.
00:47Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif was sitting right there.
00:50Prime Minister called for this entire terror ecosystem to be dismantled
00:55from terror financing to recruitment to radicalisation and safe havens.
01:00His third message was even more direct.
01:04Terrorism cannot be treated as a strategic asset.
01:07Remember, people like Hafiz Mohammed Said or that Moulana of Terror Masood Azhar,
01:14these are Pakistan's strategic assets to be used against India at will,
01:19except now, they're not safe in their own homes.
01:24I wonder why unknown gunmen have been neutralising at least 30 terrorists in Pakistan.
01:30The message against state-sponsored terrorism was clear and significant.
01:35Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif of Pakistan was in that room
01:39and Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered this message on zero safe havens for terror.
01:44Prime Minister Narendra Modi's fourth message, and this is very, very significant, was on Afghanistan.
01:53The Prime Minister called for continued development and humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people.
02:00This Central Asian grouping issue is very important.
02:03Afghanistan's people must be helped, the Prime Minister said.
02:07His fifth message was on conflicts across the world.
02:10The Prime Minister said dialogue and diplomacy must be the way forward,
02:14particularly when conflicts threaten energy security, maritime trade and global supply chains.
02:21The sixth message was on the menace of drugs.
02:26Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking greater coordination and cooperation
02:30among Shanghai cooperation organization countries against drug trafficking,
02:35organized crime and other security threats.
02:38His seventh message was on connectivity.
02:42Again, do keep in mind, when it comes to regional connectivity and in this region,
02:46Pakistan is that big hindrance.
02:48Look at India wanting to trade with Afghanistan or Afghanistan wanting to trade with India.
02:52Pakistan just doesn't permit.
02:54And that is why the Chabahar port becomes extremely significant
02:56and the Zaranj-Delaram highway.
02:59The Prime Minister called for reliable and inclusive connectivity.
03:02More importantly, respect sovereignty and territorial integrity of every country.
03:08And this is where that message, even if indirically, when you talk of connectivity,
03:15if China wants to talk about China-Pakistan economic corridor,
03:18it's a violation of India's sovereignty because Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir,
03:23including Pakistan occupied Gilgit and Baltistan.
03:25Their Indian territory in illegal occupation by Pakistan.
03:31Message number eight was about making trade easier, simplifying customs,
03:36expanding digital documentation and making logistics networks even more efficient.
03:42Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ninth message was putting people first.
03:47People at the heart of SEO.
03:49Creating tangible opportunities for youth, for entrepreneurs, for farmers, for ordinary citizens.
03:55And the tenth message, ladies and gentlemen, was about bringing SEO countries even closer
03:59through greater youth-to-youth interactions.
04:03Scientific interaction.
04:06Entrepreneurs working together.
04:07And of course, between India and SEO nations.
04:11Equally significant civilizational exchanges.
