Another highlight of Mr. Modi's visit was India's inclusion as the
full member of the SCO at the Ufa summit of the organisation.
The BRICS grouping is a more recent invention, but the SCO emerged in
2001 as successor to the so-called Shanghai Five, which comprised
Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and China.
A statement from the PM House said Pakistan will now have to fulfil
certain statutory and legal requirements before the country formally
becomes a full member.
The Prime Minister said the membership also advances the shared vision
to reconnect and integrate Eurasia's different region. `We have
everything we need to succeed'. India, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and
Mongolia are at present observers ` a status that allows them to
participate in meetings but without full voting rights.
The SCO, which also includes ex- Soviet republics in Central Asia, has
been viewed as a de facto counterweight to major Western alliances
such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The prime minister said that the SCO countries must work together to
mitigate differences, resolve outstanding disputes and create a
favourable environment for the betterment of their peoples. China has
steered the organization toward an economic grouping while Russian
Federation has emphasized the organization's political role and pushed
for greater security cooperation.
While India continues to nurse serious reservations over the
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Sharif? said the corridor was going
to be useful for the prosperity of the region.
`We will work with SCO to combat terrorism and extremism that is a
rising threat to the entire region'. A separate meeting between Sharif
and Modi led to plans for Modi to visit Pakistan next year.
India has been an actively participating in SCO activities that are
open to Observers. SCO now has four nuclear powered nations with India
and Pakistan joining its benches along with China and Russian
Federation.
Members should promote the development of the bank's headquarters and
a regional center in Africa, said Xi, who urged more countries to
support the bank.
Analysts told Shanghai Daily, that with its expansion the SCO will
provide a platform for broader economic and security cooperation
within the Eurasian region.
