Abstract

Over the fifteen years since it came into existence, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) has become an active and much known regional organization that has been drawing interest from many countries. It is the first multilateral, regional, international organization born in Twenty-first century. The SCO currently comprises of Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan as member states. India and Pakistan, which have held Observer status for the past 10 years, will technically become members by 2016 after the completion of certain procedures. This decision was taken in at the Ufa Summit in Russia in 2015. Belarus, which had been a dialogue partner, is now a formal observer along with Afghanistan, Iran and Mongolia while Sri Lanka and Turkey are dialogue partners. Beside this, Egypt, Nepal, Serbia, Qatar, Armenia, Azerbaijan and some other countries have displayed interest in establishing contacts with the organisation.
