Representatives from the bloc's observers, namely Iran, India, Mongolia and Pakistan, and international organizations also attended the meeting. Response to new threats, challenges In the joint communique, the heads of state stressed that the Treaty on Long-term Good-neighborly Relations, Friendship and Cooperation among the SCO members, signed in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek last year, is of great significance in strengthening cooperation in coping with new challenges and threats, cementing world peace and security, and safeguarding global and regional stability. The fulfillment of the treaty will help improve the socioeconomic situation and deepen the regional integration within the organization, said the communique. The heads of state pointed out that the regional anti-terrorism agency, as an effective mechanism coordinating cooperation among authorities of the SCO members and providing guarantees for information analysis, is more and more active in carrying out its tasks. They praised the smooth implementation of a three-year cooperation outline on the fight against terrorism, separatism and extremism. SCO members' joint military exercises, such as the anti-terror drill code-named "Peace Mission-2007" in Russia, have helped improve the organization's anti-terror capabilities and will continue to be conducted. The member nations will soon discuss the possibility of a meeting of public security and interior ministers at the beginning of next year. The heads of state also expressed concern over the possibility that modern technologies on the information telecommunication may be used to sabotage international stability and security and cause threats. |
