China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan are SCO members, along with Tajikistan. Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, and Nepal are SCO conversation partners, whereas Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, and Mongolia are SCO observers.

On 22nd September,2006, the inaugural meeting took place in Shanghai (People’s Republic of China).

By signing the Samarkand declaration last year, India was given a one-year rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
