Shangai Cooperation Organisation

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is a political, economic, and security alliance founded in 2001, primarily involving Eurasian countries such as China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Its goal is to promote regional stability, combat terrorism, drug trafficking, and separatism, and foster economic cooperation. Members work together through joint exercises, intelligence sharing, and diplomatic efforts to ensure peace and development in Central Asia and surrounding regions. The SCO emphasizes consensus-based decision-making, strengthening mutual trust, and addressing common security challenges of member states.
