Russia, China court India for regional bloc- Nikkei Asian Review Launched
in 2001, the six-member Shanghai Cooperation Organization also includes
the central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and
Uzbekistan. It promotes cooperation in areas ranging from anti-terrorism
measures to the economy and culture. Adding India could boost the
organization's influence, particularly in regional security issues.
India said Friday that it has formally applied for membership. The
country now holds observer status but is looking to step up engagement
with the organization, Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said at the SCO
summit.http://asia.nikkei.com/Politics-Economy/International-Relations/Russia-China-court-India-for-regional-bloc?utm_source=The+Sinocism+China+Newsletter&utm_campaign=a50b249e75-The_Sinocism_China_Newsletter_09_15_14&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171f237867-a50b249e75-29615013&mc_cid=a50b249e75&mc_eid=5935182a65
