Stories have been published in foreign media outlets In recent days that the SCO was China's and Russia's response to NATO, the SCO National Coordinator of Uzbekistan Rakhmatulla Nurimbetov said noting that there were no issues related to the global geopolitical crisis on the agenda of the summit, there will be no appeals or statements over the countries that are not members of the Organization.
“In this Organization, every issue and agenda is formed by a way of consensus. First of all, the national coordinators coordinate each issue on the agenda of the event. After that, it is considered at the level of foreign ministers. The agenda of the Samarkand Summit was confirmed by the foreign ministers on July 29. And it does not mention global geopolitical crises.
Of course, the leaders of states can exchange views on global and regional issues. But in the draft resolution, joint documents and, most importantly, in the Samarkand Declaration, there are no and will not be any statements and appeals on issues pursuing any geopolitical goals.
Yes, there may be an information background on this issue, it is impossible to avoid it, but I emphasize once again that the SCO is not a structure directed against the West or other organizations,” Nurimbetov said.
