NEW DELHI (AP) — President Vladimir Putin will participate this week in his first multilateral summit since an armed rebellion rattled Russia. Analysts say his participation at a virtual summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on Tuesday is an opportunity to show he is in control after a short-lived insurrection by Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin. The security forum was founded by Russia and China in a bid to counter Western alliances from East Asia to the Indian Ocean. This year’s event is hosted by India as a way to burnish its global credentials. The group also includes the Central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, where Russian influence runs deep, as well as Pakistan. Iran is set to officially join at the summit.
