The 14th prime ministers' meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is now underway in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou. Heads of government from the SCO members are due to issue a statement on regional economic cooperation after the meeting, reiterating support for regional development strategies including the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative. According to CRI reporter Zhai Lei, who is covering the event in Zhengzhou, the meeting will talk about how to boost industrial capacity cooperation among member countries. "Leaders of the SCO member countries will also witness today the signing of such documents as SCO member states' customs cooperation plans from 2016 to 2021. The move will facilitate interconnection and customs clearances among SCO member states as well as their information sharing in the field of law enforcement, including combating smuggling." The meeting, to be concluded later today, will also touch upon the issues of regional security. The SCO currently has six member countries - China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. China and Kazakhstan have agreed on scores of deals on industrial capacity cooperation worth over 20 billion dollars. |
