The SCO told Newsweek the bloc is 'increasingly necessary at a time of global political turbulence and the rise of devastating threats and challenges.'
has begun hosting a virtual summit alongside his counterparts from China, Russia, Pakistan and several other nations to sign new deals in line with a growing bloc of non-Western powers., the press office of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Secretariat outlined the group's aspirations and what is to be expected from the Heads of State Council gathering Tuesday, including securing Iran's membership and extending a pathway for Belarus to join as well.
"The SCO Summit is a platform for demonstrating the common aspirations of member states and putting forward much needed initiatives," the press office said,"a platform that is becoming increasingly necessary at a time of global political turbulence and the rise of devastating threats and challenges."
The meeting is being held under the theme of SECURE, an acronym devised by Modi to incorporate the tenets of security, economy and trade, connectivity, unity, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity and the environment. The eight SCO leaders, who also include the heads of the Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, are expected to sign 14 documents on initiatives ranging from counterterrorism to digital cooperation.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kazakhstani President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Kyrgyzstani President Sadyr Japarov, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Uzbekistani President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Tajikistani President Emomali Rahmon and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif pose for a family photo during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization leaders' summit in Samarkand on September 16, 2022.
Despite the bloc's expanding membership, however, which now represents around 44 percent of the world's population, members and affiliates of the SCO are far from aligned in their broader geopolitical interests. A number of associated states are engaged in deep-rooted feuds that have long raised concerns about the group's cohesiveness and effectiveness to act as a collective.
