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.”
