During the ongoing Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) defence ministers` meeting, Union External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Friday said, "India wanted a reference to terrorism in the outcome document of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) defence ministers` meeting, but it was not acceptable to one member country," an oblique reference to Pakistan.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) defence ministers` meeting was held from June 25 to 26 in Qingdao, China. 

As reported by PTI, India’s Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar, also stated that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh`s view on the matter was right since the main purpose of SCO was to fight terrorism, and without a reference to it (on India`s concerns on terrorism), he would not accept the outcome document.”
