BEIJING, July 11. /ITAR-TASS/. After ten years as an observer state, Mongolia may become a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), comprising states in Eurasia and East Asia, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.

“We have great prospects for the development of the SCO,” Wang Yi told a reception in Beijing on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of the organization’s foundation. “There are currently five observers and three dialogue partners in the organization.”

“We have received a message from the Mongolian prime minister on the occasion. Although we have not scrutinized the contents of this message yet, we regard it as a good signal,” he added. “Ten years have passed, and it is time to consider preparations for granting Mongolia a status of a full-fledged member of the SCO.”

Founded in 2001, the Beijing-based Shanghai Cooperation Organization is composed of Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The security organization consolidates efforts to counter terrorism and radicalization in member-states, and also works in other spheres such as politics and trade.

Afghanistan, India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan have observer status, while Belarus, Sri Lanka and Turkey are described as 'dialogue partners'.

I really hope Pakistan gets the full membership soon. It's politically easier for Mongolia to get the membership than India and Pakistan, so I'm not surprised.

Russia happened.

If Pakistan is going to get the membership, India is going to get it on the same day to avoid problems. China and Russia are probably talking about the best method of bringing both into the fold with minimal problems, as China and Russia have endorsed the full membership of India and Pakistan. Just keep in mind that Russia is looking out for India's interests and China is looking out for Pakistani interests.
