Drafting a joint action plan for expanding intra-SCO regional trade

On 7 June 2022, Uzbekistan chaired the first expert meeting to coordinate a joint action plan for expanding regional trade within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. The document is to be submitted for signing at the meeting of the SCO Heads of State Council in September 2022.

The parties agreed to continue finalising the document at the national level. There are plans to discuss it once again at a meeting of the Commission of Senior Officials Responsible for Foreign Economic Activity and Foreign Trade to be held on 15-16 June 2022.
