Woefully SCO turns out to be another talking club following BRICS. Members have less and less in common. There is a SCO bank, and a BRICS bank. Then the arising AIIB has made both of them redundant. Though not a binding organization, OBoR is a far more dynamic and flexible platform to engage...

there may be trade-offs with Russia but who knows. as a result both will be admitted for SURE. India and Pakistan would rather fight inside than allow the other to get on board ALONE. ~Tapa talks: Orange is the new black.~

SCO isn't going to be like NATO as some anticipate. China for one is not interested in such a quixotic rivalry with the West. Unlike other members Chinese interest is very integrated with the West and non-confrontational. Chinese and Kazakh attitude to the Ukraine crisis is very subtle for...

Re: Indian Ambassador: We Are Ready To Become A Full-Fledged Member in Indian's intent is crystal clear ~ to create hurdles for Pakistan's access as a full member now that Pakistan and Iran have submitted applications for SCO. By juggling it may have complicated the expansion process but indeed...

How will joining the Russia+China overwhelmed SCO be a wise move for India? It may result in reduced leeway for India in interactions with rivalling world powers or blocs like the West and NATO in the disguise of an independent foreign policy in order to maximize its own gains. And India...

Will rivalling PK and IN becoming members dilute SCO's effectiveness? Welcoming PK in (plus Iran) is enough for big brothers' "security" and "energy" concerns.

Access of rivaling Pak and Ind will only complicate SCO, hamper its effectiveness and dilute its role for regional (energy) security

China shall support PAK's access to SCO. Believe Russia also knows well India wants sitting on the fence milking from both blocs like it did during Cold War era. Without India inside SCO, it remains simple and easier to "manage". Regret Sino-PAK relationship remains at a state level mostly. We...
