SCO Summit 2022: Who said what
On 15 and 16 September in Uzbekistan, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation met in two years to discuss bilateral cooperation and strengthening mutual confidence. The Summit was attended by India, Russia and China, along with seven other members. The summit welcomed Iran as a permanent member.
Promising peace and security, the SCO primarily focused on mutual trust in the military sphere when it first came into existence through the Shanghai Five, a political association when the People's Republic of China, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan, were a part of the Agreement on Confidence-Building in the Military Field in the Border Area (Shanghai, 1996) and the Agreement on the Mutual Reduction of Armed Forces in the Border Area (Moscow, 1997). The accession of Uzbekistan in 2001 led to the renaming and establishment of the Shanghai Five as the Shanghai Corporation Organisation (SCO). The Charter was signed at the St. Petersburg Summit in June 2002, stipulating the SCO's primary cooperation and shared objectives.
Under a similar purview, the heads of the SCO signed a 20-year programme of Multilateral Trade and Economic Cooperation. Citing the programme to establish free trade zones & favourable commerce activities comprehensively. After 14 years, in another historic meeting of the SCO in Kazakhstan, India and Pakistan were granted permanent status as Heads of State Council which led to the holistic completion of the SCO.
China
The SCO marked one of the first meetings attended by President Xi Jinping after the outbreak of COVID-19. Urging the SCO members to strengthen practical cooperation among themselves, China said that it is ready to work with other stakeholders to elevate global development through the BRI. Pledging humanitarian assistance and cooperation documents in areas of trade and investment, infrastructure and supply chains, China consistently called out "colour revolutions" and urged the group to stay far from the West's perception of Asia. Xi warned against the "obsession with forming a small circle" and reiterated the importance of capitalising on multilateralism.
Russia
On the Ukraine war Russia maintained that it would only get worse if the opposition would not back down. Russia urged closer ties with China on the basis of the realisation of common goals and objectives as SCO member states. Russia also acknowledged the rotating presidency of India for next year's summit of 2023 and pushed free visa travel between India and Russia. It promised pipeline gas supplies to Pakistan, as well. Crediting Iran for its permanency in the SCO, Russia seemed to play the role of a supportive ally to the SCO while also upholding its stance on the Ukraine crisis.
India
Prime Minister Modi attended the summit with intentions set to achieve credible support for his energy security and transit rights agenda. He urged the members to set a balanced approach against climate change as well. Modi said to Putin that "it is not an era of war" and pushed Russia to delve into food, fuel and fertiliser security issues. Modi also underlined the transit trade and connectivity between the SCO member states, saying that transit rights between the states would boost communication and dialogue between the members.
India also held sideline talks with Iran to boost bilateral ties and connectivity, speaking about the Chabahar Port development and foreseeing potential maritime cooperation involving Oman, Iran and India. They also discussed the state of Afghanistan and prevented speculation of any bias.
Pakistan and Iran
Pakistan and Iran saw a separate progression of dialogue in this year's SCO Summit of 2022. Iran was granted permanent membership to the SCO by signing an MOU on 16 September. Pakistan pledged to remove regional terrorism from its land and focused on fighting climate change by asking for humanitarian aid and help from its member countries. Pakistan was hesitant to comment on its participation in next year's summit to be held in India.
Sweden: 2022 elections reflect political polarization
What happened?
On 11 September, under the election authority of Sweden elections to the Riksdag and municipal and regional councils were conducted.
On 15 September, the vote count revealed the victory of the right-wing coalition which won 176 seats out of 349 in the parliament, while Magdalena Andersson's (Social Democrats) center-left coalition lost by a margin with 173 seats.
Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson resigned from her position and said: "I know that a lot of Swedes are concerned. I see your concern and I share it." Upon the right-wing's support to the Moderate party leader, Ulf Kristersson will form the government. The Sweden Democrats leader, Jimmie Akesson said: "It is time to start rebuilding security, prosperity, and cohesion. It's time to put Sweden first."
What is the background?
First, Sweden's political landscape. In the last two decades, the political landscape of Sweden has drastically changed with the stepping in of new parties. From five, increasing to eight parties, differences have plunged between the long-established and newly formed. Such shifts have brought focus to "socio-economic," and "socio-cultural" challenges and platforms to deploy them. The original tussle existed between the traditional social democrats and the conservative alliance led by the moderates, but this equation took a shift with the intervention of Sweden Democrats. Once known as a welfare state has now joined the league of economic stress, anti-immigrant notion, and political polarization. Taking the election results from 2002 to 2022 shows the consistency of the social democrats, followed by the moderate party (except 2022) in winning the majority. While Left and Center parties have a fluctuating proportion between six to eight per cent, never had the record of going above 10. In the case of liberals, Christian democrats and the greens, have slowly declined without much variation.
Second, troubled social democrats. The Social Democrats being the oldest political party since 1889, set its failing trajectory from the 1990 Balkan refugee crisis, and 2010 when the Sweden Democrats gained their place in the legislative. Greens supporting the budget proposed by the Sweden Democrats and quitting the party, brought out the fragmentation in the left wing. Apart from the internal complexities, the slow rise of the Sweden Democrats also threatened the position of the left wing.
Third, the rise of the right. The Sweden Democrats formed in 1988, later than the Social Democrats planned its rise steady to win the 2022 elections. In the 2018 and 2014 elections, the competition prevailed only between the Social Democrats and the Moderates, while the Sweden Democrats slowly gained ground from 2014 to2022. The major reasons are its key target of anti-immigration, preserving Sweden's identity, and Russia and US's far-right influence. With its anti-immigration as the main focus, the party reflected its stand on the Muslim, Balkan, and Middle-Eastern refugees and pushed its "Zero tolerance" policy to address the racism and extreme xenophobia which grew with the rise in the migrant population.
What does this mean?
First, the increased influence of Russia and the US's far-right. With Social Democrats still maintaining the majority, Russia's polarization of western countries and influence of the US's far-right groups will continue to increase in forms of media, and disinformation campaigns to strengthen the right-wing image.
Second, scuffled decision-making. The historic existence of a difference between the moderates, liberal and Christian parties will undermine the policy agenda of Sweden Democrats. Especially in terms of dealing with crimes, the education system, deportation of immigrants, welfare benefits, and energy needs. The balancing act will dwell upon the Moderates to negotiate the differences and bring consensus.
Third, stricter immigrant measures and upholding of Sweden's culture. The non-Nordic immigrant from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and communities such as "Somalitowns, Chinatowns, and Little Italies" are probable to face stricter immigrant and deportation rules in the coming years. The core agenda of the coalition is keeping Sweden first, the migrant count which increased during the 1990s and 2015 is set to reduce radically.
Europe: Four takeaways from Ursula von der Leyen's State of the Union address
Sai Pranav
On 14 September, the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delivered her annual State of the Union speech regarding the EU's plan for the year ahead at the parliament in Strasbourg.
The State of the Union speech is delivered every September by the President of the European Commission. The address dwells on the achievements of the EU in the past year and present plans for the year ahead. In every State of the Union speech, the President of the Commission also discusses ways to solve current issues and mould the future of the EU. The address is seen as a report card of the EU and also its planner for the upcoming year.
Four Takeaways
First, Europe's united stand with Ukraine. Europe has spent nearly EUR 19 billion in financial assistance to Ukraine. Europe has provided not only financial assistance but also military and humanitarian aid. The European states has also opened its doors to Ukrainian refugees fleeing from the war-torn geography of Ukraine. Many European countries welcome women and children who have escaped the war in Ukraine. The EU imposes the most severe sanctions on the aggressor and the invader, Russia. Europe promised that it would assist Ukraine in rebuilding the country. To improve Ukraine's education, the EU aims to provide EUR 100 million to construct schools and also for the growth of education in the country.
Second, the emphasis on the energy crisis in Europe and how to address it. The EU depended heavily on Russia for its gas and oil needs. Sanctions placed on Russia resulted in the rise of energy prices across the globe. To reduce its reliance on Russia, the EU diversified its energy imports from its allies, such as the US, Norway, and Algeria. The EU member states were urged to reduce overall energy consumption to fight against the high electricity bills. The address also included the proposal to tax energy and fossil fuel companies' excess profit, which will be used to assist low-income households and businesses. While many EU members have accepted the proposal, the Spanish government refused to go through with the windfall taxes.
Third, the priority on renewables for climate change. The EU aims to make hydrogen its primary energy source instead of relying on gas, as hydrogen is cheaper and eco-friendly. Creating a hydrogen bank and expanding the hydrogen market through EUR 3 billion investment is also one of the measures the EU will take to reduce gas dependency. The shift to creating a hydrogen bank and its market in Europe is part of the Green Deal. Europe is now leaning toward renewable energy through the REPowerEU plan. There has been an increase in offshore wind and solar energy production in Europe. Europe witnessed severe effects of climate change in 2022 through wildfires, drought and heatwaves. The EU will also improve efficiency in waste management. The EU will revise its plan on wildlife protection and the EU legislation on animal welfare.
Fourth, the emphasis on democracy. The EU has vowed to protect its member states and allies from falling into autocratic governance. The bloc has developed a Defence of Democracy package to fight such dangers from Totalitarian states. It also aims to increase assistance to Africa and Latin America through humanitarian and financial aid. The Commission also aims to fight against corruption within its member states by introducing the anti-corruption measure in their legislative framework. The fight against corruption will strengthen democracy within. The member states will remain strong only if they are united.

Europe: Experts accuse the EU of not taking measures to maintain the marine protected areas
On 12 September, a group of 200 scientists and conservationists analysed the harmful effects of disruptive fishing in marine protected areas (MPAs). The study reported that bottom trawling, the most harmful and fuel-intensive fishing practice, was done in 59 per cent of EU's MPAs, depleting vulnerable and endangered species. According to the report, the EU's waters were observed to be in a "dismal" state, and only one-third of the total fish population studied are in good condition. They recommended, first, a transition to low-impact fisheries and the protection of 30 per cent of EU's water as MPAs by 2030 as a key mandate of the use biodiversity strategy. Second, of the 30 per cent, 10 per cent should be demarcated as a strictly "no-take zone" to replenish depleted fisheries.
Germany: Israeli anti-ballistic missile system on the cards over the US made THAAD.
On 12 September, the Israeli Prime Minister revealed that Germany is in talks to buy the Arrow 3 missile defence system from Israel as part of Berlin's efforts to strengthen its armed forces after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Yair Lapid described their talks as leading to a "future possible deal" but declined to outline the cost. Scholz said Germany would strengthen its defences by buying more air defence systems in the future and called the Arrow 3 system a "high-performance offer" but declined to go into specifics. Arrow 3 interceptors are designed to fly beyond the earth's atmosphere, where their warheads detach to become "kamikaze" satellites or "kill vehicles" that track and slam into the targets. Such high-altitude shoot-downs are meant to safely destroy incoming nuclear, biological or chemical missiles.
Switzerland: Parliament Approves USD 5.5 Billion Purchase of F-35 Fighters
On 15 September, the Swiss parliament gave final approval on Thursday to buy 36 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II fighter jets, pressing ahead without waiting for a referendum on the USD 5.5 billion deal. Switzerland chose the F-35 last year as its next-generation fighter jet, angering opponents who said they would ensure a referendum was held to overturn what they called an unnecessary "Ferrari" option. Many countries have stepped up spending on weapons systems, it has said, saying Finland had decided to buy 64 F-35As, Germany wanted to purchase up to 35, and Canada would buy 88.
The US: Lockheed Martin delivers its highest-powered laser to date to the US Department of Defense
On 16 September, as part of the High Energy Laser Scaling Initiative (HELSI), Lockheed Martin handed over a new tactical electric 300kW-class laser, a high-energy directed weapon. The company noted that the 300kW-class, high-energy laser development resulted from major investments in directed energy technology. Currently, US Army uses a 20-kW laser weapon, and Navy uses a 30-kW laser weapon. High-energy lasers engage at the speed of light and provide a solution to constantly evolving threats while reducing the logistics tail associated with conventional kinetic weapon systems.
Venezuela: Argentine judicial chamber authorizes several crew members of Emtrasur Boeing 747 Cargo plane
On 15 September, Venezuela welcomed 12 of 19 crew members of the Venezuelan-Iranian freighter seized at the Ezeiza International Airport. According to flight tracking data, the Emtrasur cargo plane, sold to Venezuela by Iran's Mahan Air, arrived in Buenos Aires in early June. Its arrival caused a diplomatic stir for Argentina. The country was accused of supporting Iran and Venezuela, both under the US sanctions. Argentina grounded the plane and then seized it in August after a request from a US court.

Chile: President postpones accepting credentials from newly appointed Israeli Ambassador over the death of teenager in Palestine
On 16 September, the Chilean Foreign Minister informed newly appointed Israeli Ambassador Gil Artzyeli that Chilean President Gabriel Boric was postponing a meeting to accept his credentials until October. In response, Israel's Foreign Ministry summoned Chilean ambassador Jorge Carvajal for what it called a reprimand at a meeting where, it said, "Israel's response will be made clear." The diplomatic tussle intensified over the killing in the occupied West Bank of a Palestinian teenager. Adviser to the Palestinian foreign minister, in his statement, said: "We welcome the Chilean president's position, which is in line with international law and resolutions, and we appreciate this position aimed at applying pressure on the Israeli government to stop its ongoing daily crimes against our people."
