[EastWest]

now if India keep sitting in the lap of Americans there is no way India join SCO and if she remains nuteral ...................... well lets see what happens in future

Sorry buddy..It is not India which sits on US's laps or any country for that matter..we will stick by any country as long as our interests converge..

On terrorism related issues we have the same understanding as US and NATO...but on economy and environment related issues its India+China vs Western nations...

So before u start vomiting ur own theories..It was India which lost interest in joining SCO back when it felt it did not serve its purpose in international diplomacy then..Now it helps us in joining SCO and therefore u see a renewed interest...plz get ur facts right..

ST. PETERSBURG: Russia on Monday, for the first time, publicly endorsed Pakistan’s bid to get full membership of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin made this announcement in response to Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani’s address at the 10th Heads of Government meeting of SCO, at the Constantine Palace.

The Russian Premier also supported Prime Minister Gilani’s proposals for implementing trade and energy projects.

He announced financing 0.5 billion US dollars for the CASA- 1000 that would ensure power transmission from Turkmenistan Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Putin said in practical and tangible terms, Russia wants materialization of projects including TAPI (Turkmenistan- Afghanistan-Pakistan-India) gas pipeline project and the Central Asia South Asia Electricity Trade and Transmission Project (CASA 1000).

Later, the two leaders held bilateral meeting and discussed several important issues including fight against terrorism and extremism, besides calling for the need to adopt regional approach towards dealing with major challenges.

Russian Premier Putin termed his meeting with Prime Minister Gilani “very pleasant” and expressed satisfaction over bilateral and trade ties between the two countries.

“Pakistan is important for us in trade and economy and it is an important partner in South Asia and in Islamic world,” he told Prime Minister Gilani.

Putin offered Russia’s assistance in expansion of Pakistan Steel Mills and provision of technical support for the Guddu and Muzaffargarh power plants.

He said Russia could facilitate Pakistan in the execution of Thar Coal Project.

Gilani said this was his fourth meeting with Prime Minister Putin. He mentioned that he joined other leaders at the SCO forum despite the occasion of Eid, because of the importance of the forum and also of Pakistan’s commitment to the regional issues.

He appreciated Russia’s support for mega projects including CASA 1000.

Putin supported Pakistan’s stance on war on terror and agreed to pursue the policy of counter-terrorism for ensuring regional peace.

The two Prime Ministers agreed that collective regional efforts were required to eliminate terrorism from the region to usher in peace and stability, and re-direct all energies towards economic interaction among the members of SCO.

What advantage does a SCO membership get for the country? Is is prudent to get involved in one side or another?

NATO has proved to be Pakistan's enemy. Its best to unite with other regional powers to protect Asia. NATO doesn't belong in Asia, SCO belongs in Asia.

SCO fruitful for Pakistan in strategic military affairs more than economical. trade relations with Russian federation still a question mark and there is no development to resolve. Economical relations with China couldn't be matched with economical relations with Russia. Pakistan still heavily dependent on US & EU for its economical development and finance. To minimize effectiveness of this factor there is requirement of comprehensive analysis of future geopolitical, defense & economical plannings and draw strategies in order to make Pakistan less dependent with balanced relations with US/EU & Russian federation.
