Distinguished Chairman!
Dear heads of delegations!
I am sincerely glad to welcome all participants of the this Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
I echo the words of gratitude expressed today to the Honorable Prime Minister of the Republic of India Narendra Modi for organizing our meeting. We note India’s successful first SCO presidency.
I would like to underscore with satisfaction the dynamic development of our multifaceted cooperation in accordance with agreements of the Samarkand Summit. We have embarked on the practical implementation of the adopted decisions on further expanding and reforming of our Organization.
