“Your participation is very important, because you are the only current President who was at the origins of the creation of the SCO in 1996. This organization, in my opinion, is an effective, authoritative and democratic association at its core. We hope that tomorrow’s summit will be a success,” the President said.
Rahmon, for his part, noted Kazakhstan’s successful chairmanship in the SCO and the systematic development of bilateral cooperation in trade, economic, cultural, humanitarian and security spheres.
