''SCO gaining political weight''

From Voice of Russia

''The regular summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is scheduled for June 6-7 in Beijing. According to the results of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs’ preparatory meeting, which took place the day before in the capital of China, serious changes are awaiting this organization.

The SCO was created in the mid-nineties as a structure aimed at strengthening confidence in the military field between Russia, China, and four Central Asian states: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The SCO members were also united by the common threat of Islamic fundamentalism associated with Taliban rule in Afghanistan.''
