The brief

The convening was reported by Al Jazeera, which noted the three heads of state were among a broader group of leaders in attendance. The gathering also featured other regional leaders, underscoring a broader coalition aimed at presenting an alternative to Washington’s global agenda. During the summit, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the Ukraine‑Russia war, calling for a shift from ‘endless war’ to peace.

The appeal was echoed in statements to the Times of India, Politico Europe and the Jerusalem Post. Bloomberg added that Modi also met Iran’s president, with further talks with Putin slated for the SCO agenda. The summit’s agenda now centers on how the three nations will present a united front on geopolitical issues, with particular focus on limiting U.S. strategic reach.
