News Story: SCO is a model of international cooperation -- Chinese diplomat

MOSCOW, June 21 (Xinhua) -- The 15-year-old Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has become a model for regional and international cooperation, Chinese Ambassador to Russia Li Hui has said.

"The SCO has been able to find a successful organizational model for new-type regional cooperation, in which the desire for security is implemented through mutual trust and mutually beneficial cooperation," Li said in a joint interview with Russian and Chinese media on Monday.

The Treaty on Long-Term Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation signed by the SCO member states implemented in legal form the concept of friendly ties, one that can pass from generation to generation, the diplomat said.

Li said that the trust of the SCO members in each other's policies and interaction on the international stage has already reached a high level. The SCO has established in the last 15 years an operation model based on security and economic cooperation, Li said.
