In presence of Li, Qureshi, MEA Jaishankar slams BRI at SCO

Any serious connectivity initiative must be consultative, transparent and participatory, the government asserted at an SCO meet on Thursday. Without naming China or Pakistan, who were represented by Premier Li Keqiang and foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi respectively at the meeting, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said such initiatives must also conform to the most basic principle of international law — respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.
