SCO is meeting

The expectations of this SCO summit are high.  The member states of this major security and trade organization represents 42% of the world population and 25% of GDP.

Iran has been accepted as permanent member and so has Belarus. For Iran, this will mean that even the remnants of the US regime of sanctions can now be shaken off and it allows Iran to enter into its fair place in the world.

The focus of this summit most clearly is “interaction between SCO member states in the field of international security; economic cooperation issues; and the development of the cultural and educational area.” But that is diplo language.  What is really going on?

Hot is security, de-dollarization, and using local currencies.

SCO is a high-level meeting with decision-making power seated in The Council of Heads of State.

President Lukashenko decided to go one better in terms of what is described as the ‘global billion’, and stretched his hands toward the ‘global globe’. Belarus Backs Integration in SCO & BRICS.
