From Arctic to Indian Ocean: Global Transformations Boost SCO Growth

The number of applications for membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is growing, which makes it possible for the entity to expand its global outreach, said Alexander Knyazev, head of the regional branch of the Moscow-based CIS Institute think tank.

The global system of international relations has been undergoing transformation, opening the door to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's (SCO) rise as a global actor, according to Alexander Knyazev.

On July 4, the Islamic Republic of Iran became a full-fledged SCO member. It is expected that Belarus will gain this status in 2024. Prior to Iran's accession, the organization consisted of eight permanent members, namely, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan; and nine dialogue partners – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Turkiye, Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

According to Bakhtiyor Khakimov, special representative of the president of the Russian Federation for SCO affairs, the number of applications to join the SCO is growing.

"The objective conditions for turning [the SCO] into an effective organization, whose influence would go far beyond the territory of its member countries, currently exist," Knyazev told Sputnik. "Everything depends, first of all, on the political will of the leadership of these countries. (…) The number of participating countries and an even wider range of countries wishing to join, or having the status of an observer country, dialogue partner, simply striving to be involved in the SCO, all this quantitative content brings the organization closer to the need to determine its qualitative characteristics."

Iran Joins SCO: A Political Signal to the West! In a move that has caught attention of global observers, Iran has officially joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a Eurasian political, economic, and security organization, as announced in the New Delhi Declaration of the SCO Heads of State Council on Tuesday, July 4th, 2023.

"The first reason is political. Although the SCO is positioned as an economic organization, it operates with a multipolar approach," the expert explained.

"Iran's accession to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a significant and expanding alliance that is gaining strength on the global political stage and will undoubtedly have a growing influence on international politics, sends a political message to the West and the United States," Shoaib Bahman, head of the Institute for Strategic Researchers in the Contemporary World (Tehran) and an Iranian expert on Russian and Eurasian affairs, told Sputnik.

"The economic and political potential of the SCO members is considerable, and with Iran's membership, it will only increase. Iran's inclusion in the SCO offers good prospects for strengthening the organization's security and enhancing cultural ties within it," the expert said.

Mojtaba Jelalzadeh, an Iranian expert on international politics, expressed his views on Iran's entry into the SCO, saying that it carries important messages for both the region and the world.

"The first message is that the Islamic Republic's policy is oriented toward the East, with the Western vector significantly diminished compared to the not-so-distant past," he told Sputnik.

"Second, strengthening trade and economic ties within the SCO framework will allow the Islamic Republic to find effective ways to bypass American sanctions," he added.

"Finally, with Iran’s membership in the SCO, the organization will gain another regional power, thus continuing the struggle against a unipolar world," Jelalzadeh concluded.

In this sense, Iran's admission has brought a new dimension to the organization given the Islamic Republic's role in the broad Eurasian region from the Middle East to the Pacific coast, as well as its strong positions in Africa and influence in a number of Latin American countries, according to Knyazev.

He highlighted that Iran's participation in the SCO could have a considerable impact on further processes within the entity. It could enrich the SCO's activities in terms of ensuring security in a wide region from the Indian Ocean to the Arctic, and from southeast Europe to Southeast Asia, as per the expert. He particularly referred to the Iranian, Russian and Chinese joint naval exercises in the Gulf of Oman and in the surrounding waters, which began in December 2019 and have already turned into a regular event.

"Iran is an interesting example of how a country, until recently qualified as a regional power, is moving steadily towards claiming the status of a great power," the scholar said. "Today, a huge number of international processes cannot undergo without Iran's participation, since either its direct influence on these processes or the potential for such influence are obvious. Iran plays an extremely important role in the processes taking place in the Middle East, the Caucasus, the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean basin, less, but significantly - in the Mediterranean (...) Although the country suffers serious damage from Western sanctions, it has shown over years that it can be self-sufficient, and this self-sufficiency, in turn, provides an absolutely independent position in world politics."

SCO Emerging as Cornerstone of New Multipolar World!

"In general, today, even without the inclusion of new players in the SCO, [the organization] has already become the most important structure of the world order, of a multifaceted multipolar world," Dr. Stanislav Pritchin, a senior research fellow at the Center for Post-Soviet Studies at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations told Sputnik. "In my opinion, there is a huge potential for creating financial infrastructure, because we all see how the dependence on Western international financial organizations, infrastructure, and the exchange of banking information affects the cooperation of states even within the SCO. (…) We need to create our own infrastructure, our own reserve currencies, regional ones, and create opportunities for trade, regardless of external players. And in this regard, the potential of the SCO, of course, is huge, taking into account the economic potential of China, India, and Russia's other partners."

"When it comes to Iran's accession to the SCO, the crux of the matter is that Iran has long wanted to join the organization, and only now it has happened," continued Pritchin. "This is a direct consequence of both Russia's special military operation [in Ukraine] and the serious deterioration of US-Chinese relations. Now the countries of the region, the SCO member states, in principle, make decisions without regard for the position and opinion of Western countries. And this shows the subjectivity and independence of this organization. From the point of view of the SCO's potential, the involvement of Iran is a very important development, because a major power of 80 million people is a serious player in the field of security, our partner in [the International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC)], in the security system in the Caspian Sea, an important economic partner. In this vein, of course, Iran's accession is a very important stage in the expansion and strengthening of the SCO, its military and economic potential."

"However, the fact that there are three SCO members among the top ten economies – China, India and Russia – and a whole cohort of other major powers with significant contributions to GDP on the world stage [is of utmost importance]. We see that in terms of economic weight, political weight, [the SCO] is the most representative organization in Eurasia. And this is the largest organization in the world in terms of geographical presence and economic presence in terms of the composition of the population of the participants in this organization," Pritchin concluded.

Will SCO Become New United Nations for Non-Western World? The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a Eurasian political, economic, and security bloc founded in 2001, has great potential to become a United Nations for the non-Western world, according to Robinder Sachdev, geopolitical and economic diplomacy analyst and founder president of the Imagindia Institute.

"If the SCO wants to make a meaningful impact worldwide, then the boldest path is for it to transform itself into a new-age global organization," Robinder Sachdev told Sputnik India. "The SCO has the historic opportunity to become the modern, ideal, mini-United Nations of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Such a globalized SCO can have membership of non-USA, non-European nations, with doors later also open for Western nations to join. Patterned by the UN, the norms and practices of the SCO should be equitable, democratic, and will be based on the reality of the 21st century."

Currently, the organization consists of eight permanent members, namely, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan; and nine dialogue partners – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Turkiye, Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

"Iran’s accession to the SCO is certainly a welcome step," said Sachdev. "It will help the SCO block countries to better address issues of connectivity and trade, and regional development in general. It is a good opportunity for Iran to counter Western pressure, avoid isolation, and engage with its regional partners." "[Iran] needs to use its transit potential to generate revenues and also decrease its dependence on hydrocarbon exports," Sharma told Sputnik. "Iran can earn up to 20 billion dollars if it can use its potential as a transit for trade corridors. The Iran and Saudi deal has paved the way for fewer tensions between these arch rivals. Iran enjoys good relations with SCO countries which is one of the reasons why it wanted to join the SCO."

The SCO is at a very important, but still transitory stage, of its development, when its significance can only be assessed hypothetically, according to Knyazev. Different countries still have different expectations from the SCO, which just emphasizes that full certainty has not yet been achieved, he believes.

"I think that the ongoing global transformation of the entire world system of international relations should become a catalyst for self determination of the SCO. And it cannot be ruled out that from some point, the SCO will be perceived not as a regional structure, but as a significant world actor," the scholar concluded.

🇰🇬🇷🇺 PARLIAMENT OF KYRGYZSTAN APPROVES CREATION OF JOINT AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM WITH RUSSIA

The Kyrgyzstan Parliament approved the creation of a joint Air Defense system with the Russian Federation Wednesday, October 11th, 2023.

The action, taken by Kyrgyzstan's parliament, approves a planned joint unified regional Air Defense system to protect the two countries from incoming attacks with air power, rockets or missiles.

According to a representative of the Kyrgyzstan press services, “At a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh (parliament) today, October 11, deputies considered and adopted the bill... in three readings,”

According to the agreement on the creation of a joint Air Defense system, which was entered into by Kyrgyzstan and the Russian Federation in Moscow on August 16th, 2022, Bishkek authorities are to provide a 5-Hectare plot of land located next to the Russian air base in Kant, Kyrgyzstan.

The Agreement was approved by Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 29th, 2023.

As per the agreement, the two countries are to build a unified regional joint Air Defense system to be integrated into the Unified Air Defense System of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a regional, intergovernmental organization created after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and approved via the Belovezh Accords in December, 1991.

According to the Air Defense agreement approved today by the Kyrgyzstan Parliament, article 6 states that the coordination of joint actions by troops of the Unified regional air defense system as part of regional air defense systems of CIS countries are to be carried out by the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces of the Russian Armed Forces.

While control over the joint actions of troops of the air defense system of the Russian Federation and Kyrgyzstan in the area of collective security is to be carried out by the Commander of the Air Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Kyrgyzstan.

Furthermore, the signatories of the agreement are to ensure the protection of information received during implementation of the agreement that constitutes official State secrets.

The agreement is valid for a period of no more or less than 5 years and will renew automatically unless one or both parties notifies the other of its dissolution at least six months prior to the expiration and renewal of the agreement period.

for @hwsasiaweek day 2: uzbekistan + food + "a smooth sea never made a skillful sailor"

in which uzbekistan can't let go of her qazon and explains why

‎‧₊˚✧[🇰🇿🇺🇿🇰🇬]✧˚₊‧

It was a Thursday afternoon, and all of Uzbekistan's siblings were staying at her house for a week in preparation for a regional conference.

While they were all in separate rooms of the house working on writing up important documents and presentations, Uzbekistan was cooking food for the evening, and as per tradition she was cooking osh. It was also her siblings' favorite food, and they insisted she cook it for them almost every time they got together.

As she was stirring the beef and onions, Kazakhstan came out of her study, sniffing around.

"Apa, are you making osh for tonight?"

"Yes. it is a Thursday, after all! Also if you guys eat enough of my food, perhaps you won't all be so grumpy at the conference."

"Speak for yourself," he chuckled. There was always some argument that would arise at one of these conferences, and many times Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan would be part of it.

Before she could respond with some lackluster excuse of those conflicts being in the moment and that it wasn't truly her and that she was definitely a mature lady and how he could say that to his dear older sister who is cooking food just for him, he points at the qazon she was cooking the osh in. the bottom was completely black after years of use.

"Hey, how long has it been since you've used this qazon?"

"Oh, um...I bought it at a market sometime around the 60s?"

"Apa, that's like 50 years!"

"Well, it's durable! Like the spatula I'm using to cook it with."

"But if you bought new ones...wouldn't it enhance the quality of your meals? New cooking technology and all..."

She gently added the chopped carrots to the qazon. "You know, a smooth sea never made a skillful sailor. You could buy all the latest utensils and completely revamp your kitchen, but!" She gestured at her hands. "It's all about your experience. Your skill. That's why you all love my food the most!"

"I don't know..." Kyrgyzstan stood on his tiptoes and looked over Kazakhstan's shoulder." Tajikistan was gushing about my dymdama last time. Her side of the plate was so clean, I think she used bread to wipe the leftover broth up."

"Why must you always make this about you? She was extremely hungry that time! Besides, that was then, and this is now." She closed her eyes briefly and tossed the carrots over.

The two spent the rest of the time bickering about the "deliciousness scores" that they had apparently been tallying up so far based on their other siblings' opinions of their food, while Kazakhstan tried his best to mediate.

Good practice for the actual conference I guess, he thought, though they've done this enough times I don't think I really need practice...

"If we're gonna talk about revamping your cooking, why don't you use a frypan next time? Your boyfriend already does that when he cooks osh-"

"HE DARE COMMIT SUCH BLASPHEMY?"

"Hey chill! You better keep that a secret cuz he told me to keep it a secret from you!"

Kazakhstan had to admit, she was pretty skilled at cooking. He could see it in the way she both argued passionately with their older brother and added the chickpeas and rice to the osh, never missing a step. Heck, she even managed to make some salad on the side as well.

And when the sky became a light purple and the crickets began to chirp, the evening wind brushing through their hair as they ate outside on the tapchan, Uzbekistan brought the hot, aromatic osh to the table to eat. Everyone cleared the plate within half an hour. She smiled smugly at Kyrgyzstan.

"That's 25 points for me since today, and you're still at 22~"

"I'M CATCHING UP, OKAY?!"

‎‧₊˚✧[🇰🇿🇺🇿🇰🇬]✧˚₊‧

notes: ALHAMDULILAH I MADE IT IN TIME ITS STILL 11:57 PM 💪💪💪

there's a lot of uzbek/central asian terminology here, and they're italicized:

osh: otherwise known as plov, it's uzbekistan's national food. it's a sort of fried? rice with carrots, meat, chickpeas, and raisins. each region in uzbekistan cooks it differently, but I tried my best to describe whatever I can remember from my mom's way. it's served to guests at home, weddings, and also eaten on the regular weekly, with osh being eaten on thursdays as a traditional custom.

qazon: the best way I can describe this in english is a cast iron cauldron. it's quite big and a lot of things can be cooked in it, like osh, qazon kabob, and dymdama.

apa: kazakh for "older sister."

dymdama: eaten in many central asian countries, it's a stew of beef, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and other vegetables. in uzbekistan, it's called dimlama, and I only recently found out it's called dymdama in kyrgyzstan by a kyrgyz classmate!

tapchan: in a lot of uzbek houses with backyards, there's a small resting area with cushions and a table outside. in the spring and summer, families usually eat their breakfast, lunch, and dinner outside.
