Iran officially joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) as a full member in July 2023, representing a pivotal development in its foreign policy and initiatives for regional collaboration.
The SCO, founded in 2001 by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, serves as a Eurasian platform for political, economic, and security cooperation, emphasizing regional security, trade, and cultural exchange.
As Iran seeks to expand its economic and diplomatic ties amid ongoing sanctions, its membership in the SCO is expected to contribute to the country's strategic interests and reinforce its role in regional affairs.
