Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with his Iranian and Afghan counterparts Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hamid Karzai on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Beijing.
The presidents will discuss the situations in Iran and Afghanistan.
Putin arrived in Beijing on Tuesday. On that day, he met with his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao. The talks resulted in the signing of a package of bilateral documents. On Wednesday, Putin met with other Chinese officials and attended the opening of the SCO summit.
Iran’s application to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) will be considered after international sanctions on it have been lifted, the Russian presidential envoy to the organization said on Wednesday.
“A country that is under UN Security Council sanctions may not become a SCO member,” Kirill Barsky said.
“So at this stage this matter cannot be addressed, which does not, however, mean that it is closed forever.”
The SCO is an intergovernmental international organization established on in June 2001 by Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Observer states include India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan, while its dialogue partners include Belarus and Sri Lanka.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will attend the 12th summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Beijing, Press TV reported on Saturday.
The 12th SCO summit will be held on June 6-7.
“Apart from participating in the summit, the Iranian president will hold talks with presidents of certain member and observer countries,” said Mohammad Reza Forqani, head of the presidential office’s international relations division
Ahmadinejad will meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and Speaker of the National People's Congress. Iran and China will sign a memorandum of understanding on the expansion of bilateral cooperation.
