Former Union Minister P. Chidambaram criticized the Tianjin Declaration, which Pakistan endorsed, questioning its credibility in effectively addressing global terrorism. He emphasized that such declarations lose value when signed by terrorism-exporting nations, amid ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan. Chidambaram’s remarks highlight the broader challenge of distinguishing between countries that export terrorism and those that suffer from it, echoing India’s concerns about Pakistan’s support for cross-border terrorism. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s joint statement condemning the recent Pahalgam terror attack reflects a growing international consensus on the need for accountability regarding acts of terrorism.
