-- It remains the top priority of the SCO to combat the threats posed by terrorism, separatism and extremism as well as illegal drug trafficking, which have not diminished but are aggravated in scale and degree. Various forms of joint antiterrorism military exercises within the territories of the SCO member states involving, among others, their defense authorities, will help enhance the efficiency of member states’ joint antiterrorism operations.
-- All member states agreed to give priority to cooperation in the fields of energy, information technology and transportation, which have entered the phase of carrying out pilot projects and are of special significance to
deepening economic cooperation within the SCO framework.
-- The heads of state also entrusted the Council of National Coordinators to make recommendations on the procedure of SCO membership enlargement. This procedure should fully conform to the purposes and goals set forth in the Charter of the SCO, ensure the effectiveness of all treaties that form the legal basis of the SCO, help strengthen its unity and guarantee the applicability of the principle of consensus to consultations on all matters and at all levels of the SCO.
