REGIONAL PEACE, STABILITY, PROSPERITY

Participants from the six SCO member countries -- China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan -- discussed key regional and global issues at the gathering.

The declaration pledged to strengthen mutual support on issues relating to each other's core interests, boost cooperation in the combat against terrorism, separatism and extremism and other destabilizing factors, enhance cooperation in overcoming the aftermath of the global financial crisis and develop infrastructure in the region.

The SCO had developed into a highly efficient and open multilateral organization and was an important factor in international and regional security and cooperation structures, the declaration said.

The organization will stick to its practice of shunning ideological means, cliquing or confrontation in efforts to settle major problems emerging in the process of international and regional development.
