Also discussed regional and global developments. Deeply value his perspectives and guidance on further advancement of our ties," S Jaishankar wrote on 'X' after the meeting.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday met Russian President Vladimir Putin along with other heads of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) delegations and used his address at the SCO Council of Heads of Government meeting to deliver a firm message on terrorism, global economic instability and the need for organisational reform.
"Called on President Putin along with other Heads of SCO Delegations this afternoon," the EAM said in a post on X.
During his address at the SCO meeting, Jaishankar strongly reaffirmed India's uncompromising stance on terrorism, declaring that there can be "no justification, no looking away and no whitewashing" of terror in any form and firmly asserted India's sovereign right to defend its citizens.
