I thought there is any update on SCO.

Anyway recently SCO expressed the desire to include Pakistan and India.


Good step they should join SCO. Its counterweight to NATO

Currently,SCO is more focused on Economic,cultural relations but may evolve into a military organization,or someday maybe even evolve into an Asian Union

Its considered as counterweight to NATO in the West as USA was denied membership when it applied.

But i don't think its a counter weight to NATO judging the fact they didn't allow Iran's application for membership stating the fact it was under UN sanctions.

For Pakistan SCO membership,will be a gateway for Economic and trade deals with Central Asian Republics(which are rich in natural resources) also relations with Russia can be improved.

This is the ripe moment for Pakistan to join SCO as its image in the West has deteriorated(considering the recent events.)

Anyway,Good luck Pakistan
