🚨 The SCO is one of the world’s most powerful regional organizations — Putin
President Vladimir Putin highlighted the growing strength and cohesion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization at a press conference following the SCO summit in Bishkek, stressing that its decisions are built on consensus and benefit all members.
🔸 No one imposes anything on anyone in the SCO, Putin said, adding that all decisions are made in the interests of participating countries.
🔸 SCO members account for around one-third of global GDP and possess colossal resources, underscoring the organization’s economic weight.
🔸 Russia supports keeping the SCO open to new members and gradually expanding its membership, the president said.
🔸 At the same time, Putin stressed that SCO expansion depends on the decision of its permanent members and should proceed carefully to prevent the organization from becoming amorphous.
🔸 Putin described the SCO as one of the most powerful regional organizations in the world.
Russia continues to back a stronger and broader SCO built on sovereignty, consensus and mutually beneficial cooperation.
