Russia calls to speed up India and Pakistan joining SCO

[arp2041]

If SCO has to become a more credible organisation it has to include India, whether China like it or not India is a growing world power.

Putin's very first foreign trip after he regained the Russian Presidency, is to China.

This bodes well for the future of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

I think the SCO is a credible organization.

SCO is a anti-nato block..........we are neutral so i can't say what our leaders might choose to do..

Maybe SCO should allow India in as a member but without veto power on decision making

It would be good for India and the other SCO members for India to fully participate but I do think that it is an issue that India would be the only country that leans towards America in this group members and the other proposed members like Iran and Pakistan .

SCO need more memebers to be active. I mean Terrorism

Your leaders already filed an application to join the SCO.

India seeks full membership of SCO - Times Of India

NEW DELHI: For the first time, India has officially sought full membership of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), the central Asian grouping dominated by China and Russia, looked upon by many as an emerging counter-weight to NATO.

why not China? they will be the most concerned about stability with USA. u know G2? like it or not China is their biggest trading partner.
Russia helping them finding routes to Afghanistan.( common enemy Taliban)
India is buying latest technology from them.
Pakistan is the major non NATO ally.

our frustration doesn't changes some facts.

We are opposing your attempt to join the UNSC as a permanent member.

But I don't think we are currently opposing your entry to the SCO. (We have veto power in both organizations).

Like you said, your attempt to join the SCO is pissing off NATO and hurting your "non-aligned" image. And there is no guarantee you will even be let in, even after all that.

 

[Varunastra]

If we have official gone over to seek a full membership of SCO that means that our leaders prefer being in the counter-NATO(i.e. counter US block)...........guess they still remember clearly what they(US) wanted to do to us in 1971!!

I read Indian members comments with some irony. It is clear that Russia China do not follow American diktat eg Syria and Iran. Other proposed members Iran and Pakistan have had their fill with America.

If you look at what the above 4 countries said at the regional conference on Afghanistan in Turkey it is clear they are on the same page. They did not see eye to eye with America whilst India was silent

It is India's decision whether they choose to align with Americans or SCO. But I doubt the above 4 will allow India in and allow their anti American position be diluted. I do not think it is a forgone conclusion that India is so tied to America that it can not change track. But to join an SCO that will eventually be a security block India will have to dump its pro American agenda

I guess after Pakistan will join SCO India will find no other way but to join it too soon afterwards. Cuz there is no guarantee of survival for India if it don't take active part in the regional cooporation organisations. Leaning towards USA won't give India anything cuz the fate of the $$$ is to collapse only so useless to be on the loosers side.....

I agree with the 1st part .Regional isolation is a strategic nightmare.............the 2nd part only time will tell!!

Pakistan should join SCO.. Russia already sets its guns towards US and nato so i think its a good time for Pakistan to join...

Why do Russia wants to paralyze the SCO? India Pakistan cannot act constructively in any forum. I much rather India not join SCO.

i dont believe india will ever join...with its growing economy and military it will stay neutral
