The SCO has never resolved the India-Pakistan quarrel and was not built to do so. Tensions surface regularly. At a virtual SCO meeting in 2020, India's national security adviser staged a symbolic walkout after the Pakistani representative displayed a map India considers wrong. Pakistan, for its part, continues to say that Kashmir must be addressed for any progress to occur, and it rejects India's account of Pahalgam. A friendly handshake in Islamabad changes none of that.
