Ishaq Dar Reaffirms Pakistan’s Dedication to the ‘Shanghai Spirit’ at SCO Meeting

Pakistan Doubles Down on ‘Shanghai Spirit’ Commitment

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Muhammad Ishaq Dar has once again underlined Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to the ‘Shanghai Spirit’, the founding philosophy of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). At a high-level meeting, Dar emphasized the importance of mutual trust, equality, and cooperation among SCO member states.

Representing Pakistan, Dar stressed that the country sees the ‘Shanghai Spirit’ as a guiding light for regional peace, development, and connectivity. He called for deeper collaboration on security, trade, and cultural exchange, urging all member states to work together to tackle shared challenges. If only international relations had a bit more “spirit” and a lot fewer long speeches, maybe we’d get somewhere faster!

Why the ‘Shanghai Spirit’ Matters

The ‘Shanghai Spirit’ revolves around mutual respect, good-neighborliness, and win-win cooperation. As the world faces new complexities, Pakistan’s reaffirmation at the SCO signals a desire to lead with unity and vision. Here’s hoping these commitments translate into concrete steps on the ground—because, as we all know, actions speak louder than diplomatic statements!
