Russia ratifies long-term SCO cooperation treatyJune 11th, 2008 - 11:46 pm ICT by IANS RIA Novosti Moscow, June 11 (RIA Novosti) Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has signed a law ratifying a long-term pact with the other Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) members, comprising China and four Central Asian countries, the Kremlin said Wednesday. The friendship, good-neighbourliness and cooperation treaty between the member states of the SCO was ratified by both houses of Russia’s parliament in May. The SCO, a regional bloc comprising Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, primarily addresses security issues, but has recently moved to embrace various economic and social projects. The bloc is seen as a counterweight to NATO’s influence in Eurasia. The treaty was signed in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan’s capital, at a meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State in August 2007. The agreement is aimed at developing strategic partnership relations between members to strengthen peace, security and stability, expand economic cooperation, and improve contracts in culture, education, healthcare and science.

PREMIJERI Kine, Rusije i četiriju srednjoazijskih zemalja u utorak su potpisali sporazum koji će omogućiti provedbu planova za uspostavu dugoočekivanog antiterorističkog centra u Uzbekistanu. Također je dogovoreno da se Šangajskoj organizaciji za suradnju (SCO) da vodeća uloga u jačanju gospodarskih veza između njezinih članica Kine, Rusije, Kazahstana, Kirgistana, Tadžikistana i Uzbekistana s krajnjim ciljem stvaranja zone slobodne trgovine. Planovi za izgradnju antiterorističkog centra postoje već godinama, ali SCO, uspostavljen prije sedam godina sa zadatkom rješavanja pograničnih napetosti i borbe protiv terorizma, dosad se nije maknuo od rasprave o toj zamisli. Dogovoreno je da centar bude u uzbečkom glavnom gradu Taškentu.
