Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), is an intergovernmental organization established in 2001 by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan with the aim of promoting cooperation and peace among its member states, as well as fostering “a new democratic, fair and rational international political and economic order.”

The organization expanded to include India and Pakistan in 2017, Iran in 2023, and Belarus in 2024, bringing the total to ten member states. The SCO also includes 2 observer states—Mongolia and Afghanistan (currently inactive)—and 14 dialogue partners: Sri Lanka, Turkey, Cambodia, Azerbaijan, Nepal, Armenia, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Myanmar, the Maldives, and the United Arab Emirates. The official languages of the SCO are Chinese and Russian.
It is the world’s largest regional organization by geography and population, covering about 80 percent of the Eurasian landmass and 40 percent of the world population. As of 2021, the bloc accounted for 20 percent of global GDP. Following the integration of Iran,

The SCO now controls 20 percent of the world’s oil reserves and 44 percent of its natural gas. The SCO is a key institution in the Chinese and Russian strategic push toward a “multipolar world,” positioning itself as an alternative to Western-dominated international forums like the United Nations.

At the 2005 SCO summit, Nursultan Nazarbayev, president of Kazakhstan, has been quoted as saying, “the leaders of the states sitting at this negotiation table are representatives of half of humanity.”
Formerly the Shanghai Five, founded in 1996, the organization was renamed the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in 2001 after Uzbekistan joined. The SCO Charter, effective from 2003, outlines its goals to promote regional peace, stability, and prosperity through cooperation in politics, economics, culture, and a coordinated effort to combat terrorism, extremism, and separatism.
