Pakistan-based propaganda accounts are circulating false claims that China, Pakistan, and other countries held a separate session of the SCO, excluding Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. These claims are entirely baseless. There is no verified or credible information supporting such allegations. Prime Minister Modi attended the SCO summit in Tianjin, China, from August 31 to September 1, 2025. He actively participated in the plenary session, held bilateral meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and reaffirmed India’s commitment to regional security and counter-terrorism efforts. The summit concluded successfully, and the official declaration has been issued.
Several Propagandists accounts @NavCom24, @TacticalTribun, and @TheDailyCPEC, spread the claim that “For the first time in history, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, and China will hold separate joint meetings on the occasion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.”
Truth: PM Modi fully attended the SCO summit, no separate session held
As this claim gained traction, the D-Intent Data Team investigated using verified sources. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, Prime Minister Modi participated in the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO in Tianjin, China, from August 31 to September 1, 2025. He addressed topics including counter-terrorism, regional security, economic cooperation, connectivity projects like Chabahar Port, and youth empowerment, and proposed a Civilizational Dialogue Forum. He also held bilateral meetings with Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. Reports from The Hindu confirm PM Modi departed after a “productive” visit, emphasizing India’s stance on key global issues. The SCO Secretariat confirms the official adoption of the Tianjin Declaration. No credible source reports a separate session excluding India.
