I am pleased to emphasize that the SCO is one of the key international partners in all the EEC strategic documents,” Sergei Glazyev stated.rn, Shukhrat Sobirzoda informed on the current international agenda of the SCO as well as plans to increase its membership, including in the context of the accession of the Republic of Belarus.
The parties exchanged views on adopting the Action Plan for implementing the Memorandum of Understanding between the Eurasian Economic Commission and the SCO Secretariat dated September 17, 2021. Implementing the Plan would enable the EEC to be abreast of relevant trends in economic interaction in the SCO region, as well as to inform partners about the status and prospects for developing the Eurasian economic project.
