The question as to whether the SCO has been useful or not is playing in many minds. But it has its defenders too.
Top leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) will meet in Pakistan’s capital of Islamabad on October 15 and 16 amidst political turmoil in Pakistan and internal contradictions in the SCO itself, raising questions about its usefulness.
It will be a meeting of the Council of the Heads of Government (CHG) of SCO member countries. The CHG is the second-highest decision-making body in the SCO The aim of the session is to advance regional economic cooperation, combat terrorism, address environmental issues and discuss measures to strengthen the organisation.
Nine of the 10 member states are being represented at the Prime-Ministerial level. Among the attendees will be Chinese Premier Li Qiang, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Belarusian PM Roman Golovchenko and Iran’s First Vice President Reza Aref.
