New Delhi, Nov 30 (UNI) Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Monday expressed concern about states that leverage terrorism as an instrument of state policy and called upon Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) member states to enforce internationally recognised legal statutes to comprehensively eradicate safe havens, infrastructure and financial networks supporting terrorism.
Virtually addressing the 19th session of the SCO Council of Heads of Government, hosted by India, Mr Naidu said India condemns terrorism in all its manifestations.
"We remain concerned about threats emerging from ungoverned spaces and are particularly concerned about states that leverage terrorism as an instrument of state policy. Such an approach is entirely against the spirit and ideals and the Charter of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation," he pointed out.
