PM Narendra Modi's stern message to China, Pak on Ladakh, Kashmir as Xi, Imran listen

Coming face-to-face with President Xi Jinping of China and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, albeit virtually, for the first time since the Sino-India border row began in early May, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday delivered a stern message during his address at the SCO summit that there should be respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity among the nations. In his remarks during the virtual summit, Modi also hit out at those making repeated attempts to 'unnecessarily' bring bilateral issues to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in violation of the bloc's foundational principles, in an oblique reference to Pakistan raising the Kashmir issue in the past meetings of the eight-nation grouping.
