Iran’s accession to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is a watershed event for diplomacy, which can also open up new frontiers for the country’s economy.
Mohammad Lahouti, the head of Iran Export Confederation, made the statement in a write-up for the Persian economic daily Donya-e-Eqtesad. The translation of the full text follows:
With the decisive vote of member states, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization accepted Iran as its ninth member.
Since 2001, this Russian/Chinese-led bloc has played a significant role in the world economy.
