India is playing a constructive role in enriching the agenda of SCO. India’s Ambassador to China, Vikram Misri today said this in his remarks at a Yoga event attended by officials from member States of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, SCO in Beijing.

He thanked SCO members for supporting initiatives proposed by India in the fields of economics & trade, startups, healthcare, S&T and culture. India has assumed the Chairmanship of the SCO Council of Heads of Government this year and is hosting the meeting of SCO Premiers on the 30th Nov, this year.

The event which was a part of events to mark India’s presidency of #SCO Council of Heads of Govt, witnessed vibrant participation of Ambassadors of SCO Missions in China and Chinese officials. Mr. Misri noted that India’s association with SCO countries is a bonding born of shared history and heritage, shared customs and culture; and shared ideas and interests. These age-old cultural links and shared memories enable the SCO members and their people across this whole region to share each other’s cultural offerings, be they in the fields of cinema, music, art or indeed Yoga and benefit from them, he said.
