Abstract

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), having regional players, including Afghanistan as an observer and member states – Russia, China, Central Asian states, Pakistan and India can be a platform to discuss regional security issues. This article highlights how the Organization has contributed towards peace. In this context, the differential approaches of these states will be explored in the context of how they impede efforts towards regional security. The Pakistan-India existential disputes, the security situation in Afghanistan and contradiction over terrorism are seen as defining trends. Meanwhile, interregional connectivity and the benefits linked with economic interdependence offer scope for cooperation.
