This comes in a declaration that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization adopted following its 10th summit meeting in Kazakhstan’s capital city Astana.

The leaders of the member-states also signed a number of documents, including the Antiterrorist Strategy for 2011-2016, and said they would promote cooperation with the SCO observer nations, namely India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan, as well as with their partners in dialogue, Belarus and Sri Lanka.
