SCO Chief welcomes Iran's membership
|
|
Tehran,
March 28, IRNA -- Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization
Bolat Nurgaliyev on Thursday welcomed Iran's bid for membership in the
Organization.
"Iran's claim for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization full membership will not
bring any negative moments in relations with the regional and international
organizations," Nurgaliyev said.
Nurgaliyev said Iran's official claim was received in accordance with
regulations of the SCO Charter.
According to the Secretary-General, since 2005 Iran has held the observer's
position in the Organization, equally with India, Pakistan and Mongolia.
Along with this, these states participate in the work of structural departments
of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, he added.
"The SCO is not a military and political alliance and all the speculations that
the organization resists the existing military and political groups are quite
groundless. The military training conducted by the member countries have
anti-terrorist character. We tend to cooperate with the international structures
and regional organizations which have interests in Eurasia," Nurgaliyev noted.
