The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit ended on Friday in the Samarkand city of Uzbekistan.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also participated in it the meeting.
The meeting held in Samarkand city of Uzbekistan got a glimpse of India’s changed foreign policy and growing diplomatic intimidation.
There has been a significant change in India’s foreign policy in the last few years. India’s foreign policy is now becoming country-to-country-centric rather than focused on the powerful country or its associated groups.
India’s stature in global diplomacy will strengthen further next year.
India will also get the presidency of the G20 and the United Nations Security Council in December this year after the SCO. Important meetings of G-20 and SCO will be held in India next year.
Similarly, there is a strong possibility of India getting admission to the group of G-7 countries next year. Some more member countries want to include India in this group along with Germany, which has invited India as a host for its conference.
India is taking an independent stand on global issues in its own interest. India took an independent stand on important issues like recent Taiwan-China tensions and the Ukraine war. Ignoring the pressure of many countries including America, not only did not publicly condemn Russia but also continued to import oil from it.
In the meeting of SCO, India distanced itself from China and also advised Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Ukraine war matter. Similarly, the government of India is responding in a tit-for-tat manner. India's government is giving the message to China that if China doesn’t care about India's interests, India too won't care about China's interests.
Moreover, India will be gaining more and new diplomatic power in the new year. The next year will be more important for India in terms of global diplomacy. Next year, India will host the G-20, SCO summits as its chair. Being the chair of these groups, India will get the right to invite the countries of her choice to these conferences. Due to this, it will get a big opportunity to increase its stature at the level of diplomacy. India has prepared a plan to invite Bangladesh, Netherlands, Egypt, Mauritius, United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Oman, Singapore, and Spain to the G-20 summit.
Likewise, India is taking stands on any issue on the basis of our profit and loss. India is making a different image in the global groups as well. On the one hand, he is an important member of the SCO, which is being called anti-US. On the other hand, he is a member of the Quad, which is considered an anti-China forum. Apart from this, India is also a member of the G-20 group, of which conflicting countries like America-China are also members.
Abdul Basit, who was the High Commissioner of Pakistan in India, also said that India's diplomatic power has continuously increased. But he said that it will take decades for India to become a developed country. Basil said that millions of people in India are still below the poverty line
