A source in the Tajik Government reported to Asia-Plus that the Mongolian President, Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, will visit Dushanbe on 11-12 September to participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit.
According to the source, the Mongolian President is to meet and hold talks with Tajik Presdient, Emamali Rahman.
“Afghanistan and India, both of whom have observer status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, have still not decided who will be in their delegations during the upcoming SCO Summit in Dushanbe,” says that source.
According to the source, Iranian and Pakistani delegations, who are also observers in the SCO, will be led in the Dushanbe Summit respectively by the Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani, and the Pakistani Prime-Minister, Nawaz Sharif.
SCO delegations will be led during the Dushanbe Summit on 11-12 September by the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, Chinese President, Xi Jinping, Kazakh President, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Uzbek President, Islam Karimov, and Tajik President, Emamali Rahman.
The source also reminded that in the frame of the SCO Summit, Iranian, Chinese, and Kyrgyz leaders will make official visits to Tajikistan.
International experts believe that Mongolia, currently an observer-state in the SCO, has the best chances to become a full member in the Organization during the 2015 SCO Summit in Russia.
