The meeting of the SCO Heads of Government Council was held in Moscow

A strong economy is the foundation of regional security. In 2024, the SCO countries demonstrated economic growth almost twice the global average. This was stated by Belarusian Prime Minister Aleksandr Turchin, speaking at the SCO Heads of Government Meeting in Moscow. Over the past quarter century, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has made significant progress, and today it unites those who advocate for peace and prosperity. But much joint work remains. The prime ministers of the SCO countries held a meeting in a restricted format, as well as a number of bilateral meetings. For example, Aleksandr Turchin discussed developing cooperation in various areas with First Vice President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Mohammad Reza Aref. The parties are committed to building strategic relations.
