Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has congratulated Shanghai Cooperation Organization Secretary General Zhang Ming on the anniversary of the SCO:

"Please accept my congratulations on the 21st anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which throughout its history made a significant contribution to the stable and progressive development of the Eurasian region.

We have seen specific results in the maintenance of peace and strengthening of trust, and the deepening of multifaceted economic and humanitarian cooperation.

The consistent expansion of the Organization, in which many see an opportunity to implement a variety of joint projects, is evidence of the increased authority of the Organization, with the involvement of new participants.

Celebrating this year the anniversaries of historical decisions of the Organization - the 20th anniversary of the SCO Charter and the 5th anniversary of the Treaty on Long-term Good Neighbourhood, Friendship and Cooperation, the countries of the SCO family, through their commitment to the Shanghai spirit, successfully overcome obstacles on the way to common prosperity and progress.

I assure you that Belarus will remain actively involved in all the dimensions of the Organization, contributing to the huge potential for unity and partnership.

Alexander Lukashenko wished Zhang Min good health, well-being and great achievements in his responsible position.
