520			_aThe Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has been much in the news during the past year. The immediate reason for this is that, in addition to the G20, India also held the Presidency of the SCO for 2022–2023. In this capacity, India organized more than 140 meetings in different parts of the country. Although the visibility and public outreach of these events were not as expansive as that of the G20 meetings, considerable substantive work were accomplished in the SCO over the past few months. Some eyebrows were raised when India decided to host the SCO Summit virtually on 4 July 2023 instead of organizing a 2-day in-person meeting on 3-4th July 2023, as was expected. Even before that, the SCO Foreign Ministers’ meeting on 4-5th May in Goa became, in terms of optics, a somewhat disagreeable affair because of the shenanigans of the Pakistan Foreign Minister, Bilawal Bhutto. In the wake of these meetings, some commentators went so far as to suggest that India should consider moving out of the SCO because it is a China-dominated Organization, and none of India’s interests — economic, political or strategic — were being advanced by its SCO membership. This is a very short-sighted and ill-advised approach to contemplate. – Reproduced https://www.jstor.org/stable/48772509
