Astana. June 6. Interfax-Kazakhstan - One of the main objectives of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) for the near future should be to expand economic cooperation between the states participating in the Organization, said Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
"Kazakhstan has been a strong advocate of economic and humanitarian cooperation within the SCO. (...) We support the idea of creating mechanisms of financial support for the projects: SCO special account and SCO development bank," says a Wednesday press release of the president's press office that quotes Nazarbayev as saying at a meeting of the Council of Heads of SCO Member States.
