Agreed. It's just PR after all, a generic statement against terrorism in general would be fine.

IMO bad diplomacy

I can't imagine them not doing something so obviously easy and reasonable.

I suspect there's more to it. I wonder if India demanded that they condemned Pakistani directly as part of the statement from the SCO. In which case it's understandably not possible

That would not surprise me at all. Quad, border hostilities with China, air skirmish with Pakistan, assassinations in Canada and US, sabotaging Iranian national security, etc. They have a track record of pushing hard for objectives that are not ultimately fruitful.

I've always thought of Vietnam as the most pragmatic country in Southeast Asia. They have some of the fiercest territorial disputes with China but they're willing to sign border treaties. They have the most historical animosity with China, but they're also willing to cut trade deals. Vietnam missed out on most of the early BRI opportunities, but I think that they're trying to make up for lost time. One of the big shifts was to go from trying to get Japanese help to build their high speed rail line, they decided to look for Chinese help in 2024.

You need to be independent first before you're afforded the luxury of pragmatism. Vietnam and China fought long, bloody wars for their independence, which is why they can afford to act rationally now.

Kazakhstan appears to be bullying India. And then the SCO intentionally picked to include the picture where India is the odd man out. I suspect either Kazakhstan is doing this on behalf of Russia/China, India has policies that have wronged Kazakhstan, or India has blocked Kazakhstan's initiatives in SCO in the past.

Brazil is establishing a tax office in Beijing, to provide technical guidance for merchants regarding customs duties and so forth. The Brazilian government currently operates four other such offices, but the only one outside their immediate neighbors is in Washington DC.

BRASILIA, July 21 (Reuters) - Brazil will establish a tax advisory office in China, the Brazilian Finance Ministry said, highlighting the strategic importance of the move as the two nations deepen their ties. The decision underscores Brazil's growing focus on its relationship with China, its largest trading partner, as tariffs introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump escalate global tensions.

Tax advisory offices or attaches play a "strategic role" in international cooperation by exchanging information critical to combating tax and customs violations, the ministry said. They also provide technical guidance on Brazilian legislation to foreign investors and citizens abroad, helping to improve legal certainty and the business environment, it added.
