Answer : 1. "Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)"
Explanation :

Solution: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) conducted a joint counter-terrorism exercise to counter the use of the Internet for terrorist, separatist and extremist purposes. The exercise, hosted by India in New Delhi, aims to improve cooperation among SCO member states in identifying and suppressing the misuse of the Internet for illegal activities. The exercise focused on the exchange of positive experiences in collecting digital evidence, countering the financing of terrorist activities through digital assets and enhancing the response to cyber attacks on critical information infrastructure. The exercise was seen as an important step towards strengthening the SCO's counter-terrorism capabilities. Ahead of the exercise, India's National Security Council Secretariat organized a seminar on countering the misuse of the Internet for terrorists, separatists and extremists. The seminar, the fourth edition under the Regional Counter-Terrorism Framework (RATS) of the SCO, aimed to discuss various challenges related to misuse of the Internet, including AI, dark web, cryptocurrencies and social media platforms. Member states expressed their interest in deepening cooperation to combat Internet abuse and address cyber security issues.
