According to Rashid Alimov, the relationship between countries is very friendly, allied and has a strategic nature. Alimov noted that the entire state has determined in these interactive areas will proceed. Moreover, meetings and viewpoints among leaders of Central Asia and Russia are most popular four to five times a year. And this, of course, gives a very strong motivation for the development of relationships in most areas. It is very difficult to imagine whom they can be secondary, almost everything is a top priority, he said, the head of SCO.
Treatment, despite the difference in location
At the same time, he thought that Central Asian nations had a different history of cooperation, interaction and construction with Russia, China, India, Pakistan and other countries. “The question is that the development plans of these countries in commercial, economic and cultural and humane terms match,” Alimov said.
It also recalls that in some cases, such aspirations coincide, and in others “not always”. At the same time, there is a clear example of how a close interaction vector between SCO countries developed. For example, you can take it like that, in my opinion, a very important aspect like education: in Tajikistan 75% of students studying abroad at the Russian Federation universities. Each part of the total number of students abroad travels to China, a peripheral industrial complex explained.
He believes that for Central Asian countries, it is basically important to strengthen their sovereignty as much as possible, to do everything to make their own status strong, and the foreign policy they pursue, respect and perceive at the appropriate level. The countries in this area are very active in the international field, and in recent years. In particular, they have been proposed by many joint resolutions applied by the United Nations General Assembly. This shows that Central Asian nations are a front of the main issues related to regional and global development, regarding their overall vision.
At the same time, the head of SCO previously admitted that while not enough time passed for such a single position to become completely clear. Somewhere has a time and ability store, somewhere the question is considered related to this vision will be recognized. Perhaps, we see that the processes occurring in Central Asia are a very positive character, he said. According to him, in recent years, the international community has the opportunity to observe the rapid movement of countries of the five regions to each other.
Central Asian countries are comprehensively solving problems
If previously small steps, now, according to Alimov, it is solved by complex and sensitive issues related to sovereignty. “First of all, I mean issues related to the decomposition and decomposition, solving border issues that are still in history,” he said.
The old secret has attracted attention to the fact that recently there has been a strong increase in trade between Central Asia, the traffic relationship between them has increased and the exchanges between individuals are increasingly taking place. “The countries of” Fives “(referring to countries in Central Asia.
The spirit of cooperation cannot be moved
Despite the success of the organization, the former head of SCO believes that first, it is necessary to give up high expectations and very high requirements for it. It is necessary to maintain the spirit of the organization and the high level of cooperation, accumulated in nearly a quarter of a century. This is very important: the attraction of SCO is mainly in its principles, in the spirit of Shanghai, he noted.
As Alimov clarifies, an important feature of SCO is that they listen to the voice of each participant, because this is a motivation of world politics and is a special feature of the organization. “All member states respect different views, strive at a round table, where there is no” sharp angle “, find a common number to develop when taking into account the national interests,” the former head of the organization said.
According to him, the highest level of diplomacy is exactly expressed in such an interaction. He noted that there are many examples of such controlled diplomacy, but it is not in SCO. “In order to preserve this spirit of respect and mutual support even for such a difficult time when life sometimes makes such great requirements for the positions of the parties – this means maintaining the unity of the organization,” Alimov said.
He also attracted attention to the fact that the views on the development of SCO member states “cannot be identical, because each country has its own national development tasks.” Recalling the SCO Development Strategy Project until 2035, Alimov said that this is a foundation that brings a unique ability to combine national plans with a large area in the next decade.
Mutual understanding based on close contacts
The head of the former organization, recalling the period under his leadership, said that the concept of “SCO family” was often used inside. It may not be completely scientific, but, in any case, it has taken root. Yes, there are disagreements in every family, but still, members of a family mainly find agreement, agreement, know how to do or learn it, he said.
Alimov also pointed out the common historical origin of Russia, China and the three countries of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan), allowing to form a strong foundation of the organization. Very few people realize that from 1996-1997, when the two historical agreements were signed-Shanghai and Moscow-these were clearly built documents, where everything was registered to the smallest detail. China Tajikistan-Approx.
According to the former SCO manager, this is a specific example for the whole world how to strictly follow the agreements, regardless of external factors and threats. He believes that preserving the spirit and this principle is the most important thing for the future organization.
“For the definition of Vector, because the sco will develop further, especially in the context of the upcoming memory of the organization, will come by 2026, this will surely determine the causes of the State at the upcoming summit in Tianjin,” Alimov summarized.
