As Chair of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation-Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure (SCO-RATS) during 2021–2022, India repeatedly stressed on the destabilising regional and global consequences of terrorism emanating from Afghanistan. India hosted the council meeting of SCO-RATS in New Delhi on 14 October 2022, where the members of the group agreed to take joint measures to counter terrorist threats from Afghanistan. In its meeting at Samarkand in September 2022, the SCO decided to prepare a standard list of terrorist, separatist and extremist groups to provide an operational basis for effective counter-terrorism measures.
