上海合作组织
Шанхайская организация сотрудничества

Formation :: June 14, 2001
Member States :: Russian Federation, People's Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan.
HQ :: Beijing, China
Languages :: Chinese, Russian
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is an intergovernmental organization which was founded on June 14, 2001 by leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, the People's Republic of China, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Except for Uzbekistan, the other countries had been members of the Shanghai Five; after the inclusion of Uzbekistan in 2001, the members renamed the organization.
Cooperation on security
The SCO is primarily centered around its member nations' Central Asian security-related concerns, often describing the main threats it confronts as being terrorism, separatism and extremism.
Starting in 2003, there was a joint counter-terrorism center built in Shanghai, China. In the July 16 - July 17, 2004 SCO summit, held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the SCO agreed to form the Regional Antiterrorism Structure (RATS). On April 21, 2006, the SCO also decided to establish a new institute to fight cross-border drug crimes.
Grigory Logninov claimed on April 2006 that the SCO has no plans to become a military bloc; nonetheless he argued that the increased threats of "terrorism, extremism and separatism" make necessary a full-scale involvement of armed forces.
There have been a number of SCO joint military exercises: The first of these was held in 2003, with the first phase taking place in Kazakhstan and the second in China.
On a larger scale but outside the SCO framework, the first ever joint military exercise between Russia and China, called Peace Mission 2005 started on August 19, 2005. Following the successful completion of the Sino-Russian military exercises, Russian officials have begun speaking of the SCO taking on a military role and of India also joining these exercises in the future.
The next joint military exercises are planned for 2007 in Russia, near the Ural Mountains and close to Central Asia, as was agreed upon on April 2006 at a meeting of SCO Defense Ministers. Air forces and precision-guided weapons are likely to be used. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said that the exercises will be transparent and open to media and the public.
The next meeting of Defense Ministers is planned for 2007 in Kyrgyzstan.
