Rahmatulla Nurimbetov, Uzbekistan's national coordinator for the SCO, noted that there are no issues of geopolitical crises on the agenda of the summit, and there will be no calls or statements about countries that are not members of the organization. His words came amid the provocative news on Russian media stating that the SCO is Russia's and China's answer to NATO.
"The SCO forms every issue and agenda be a unanimous consensus.
First, the national coordinators agree on each item on the agenda. After that, the agenda will be reviewed by the member state foreign ministers.
This year, foreign ministers approved the agenda of the Samarkand summit on July 29 in Tashkent and there is no question of global geopolitical crises.
Of course, the leaders of the countries can exchange views on global and regional issues. However, there are no statements or calls for any geopolitical goals in the draft decision, documents, and most importantly, the Samarkand Declaration.
Yes, there may be some background information on this which is impossible to avoid. However, let me reiterate that the SCO is not a formation against the West or other organizations," the national coordinator says.
