In the map issued for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) countries, the Russian government considered the areas illegally occupied by China and Pakistan as part of India. Pakistan and China are also members of SCO.
Russia issued this map regardless of them. This not only affects India, but also China and Pakistan. The importance of these measures increases as China and Pakistan are also members of the SCO, as are Russia and India.
The move is also considered an unusual change in Russia’s move. So far, Russia has always refrained from making a statement on the PoK issue and has often termed Jammu and Kashmir as an internal matter. According to the sources, these steps of Russia, the founding country of SCO, have started a new axis in the world.
According to international affairs experts, China has tried to incorporate parts of India into its territory, which has not been successful. Russia’s stance is also important because recently US Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blom visited PoK and called it Azad Kashmir. However, India considers it as its integral part.
After this statement, India also raised objection but America has not withdrawn its side yet. On the other hand, the German Foreign Minister also recently suggested United Nations mediation to resolve the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan.
America’s persistent anti-India attitude
America has always said that the Kashmir issue can be resolved only through bilateral talks. But after Blom’s statement, a new debate has started. Blom’s statement comes at a time when Pakistan’s Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa is on a US tour. India is already upset with the US assistance given earlier to Pakistan to upgrade F-16 fighter jets. From the behavior of the Biden government, it seems that they want to keep Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif happy.
India’s position strengthened in SCO countries This map issued by Russia has strengthened India’s position in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on the global stage. Sources say that being one of the founding members of the SCO, Russia has set a record for correctly displaying India’s map.
