The SCO region is also affected by the impact of these challenges. The charter calls upon the member states to have mutual respect for sovereignty, and territorial integrity of states," NSA Doval said during his opening remarks at the 18th meeting of the Secretaries of Security Council of SCO member states.He added that regional and global security could be highly beneficial as the SCO charter focuses to maintain and develop relations with other states and International orgsations and to cooperate in the prevention of International conflicts.The Charter calls upon member states to have mutual respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity of states, non-use of force or threat of its use in international relations, and seeking no unilateral military superiority in areas, Doval said.Speaking further, the NSA thanked the top delegates for accepting his invitation to the meeting and said the participation of officials will not only enrich the discussions but also prepare the ground for a successful summit in a few months' time.Regarding Connectivity, he said that it remains a key priority for India."We stand ready to cooperate on investing in and building connectivity in the region. Expanding connectivity is also important to ensure that such initiatives are constituted," he said.He further reiterated that connectivity is essential for ensuring that such initiatives respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all countries while also being transparent and inclusive.Doval also underlined that India's foreign policy is based on these very principles and reflects "our commitment in every possible manner".
