The SCO Trade Council envisions a stable, secure, and prosperous Eurasian region built on the principles of mutual respect, equality, and cooperation. It aims to foster peaceful coexistence, sustainable development, and a multipolar world order that respects the sovereignty and cultural diversity of all member states.
With a 20-year track record of enabling global cooperation, the SCO Trade Council’s core strengths are more vital than ever: convening stakeholders, building trust and facilitating progress.
We align our work around three high-impact areas: Growth, Resilience and Innovation in SCO countries, working with partners across these SCO partners to facilitate efforts to unlock new economic opportunities, enhance societal well-being, advance technology and innovation, and accelerate the transition to nature-positive, future-ready systems in various areas of culture and trade.
We drive collaboration across five interconnected global challenges: Growth, Geopolitics, Technology, People and Planet. From trade, investment and financial stability to energy transition, digital trust, skills and health, we help leaders navigate complexity and act with shared purpose.
We partner with stakeholders in all SCO countries to facilitate cooperation and progress, helping move the world forward together.
