There looks to be a change in partners all over Asia. This is all setting the stage for Pakistan's entry into SCO.

The Russians will start befriending Afghanistan in a couple of years when a more representative government is in power. Probably through Pakistan as an intermediary. That too will join SCO.

Pakistan SCO membership this year. Afghanistan SCO membership in a couple of years. That is my prediction. Let's see if I'm wrong :)
