SCO summit in Samarkand
Experts explain the increased attention to the opening summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization not only by the meeting of the leaders of Russia and China against the backdrop of the crisis in Ukraine and the escalation of the situation around Taiwan.
The fact is that ten more states have expressed a desire to join the SCO, including Syria, the UAE, Qatar and other countries.
It is known that the corresponding memorandum on joining the SCO was signed by the leader of Iran, despite the fact that the members of the Organization are the largest countries in the world – Russia, India and China.
The agenda of the opening summit includes a discussion of the issue of adapting the SCO to new challenges and threats in the modern world.
