SCO Observatory: major update, September 2026

Written by
A timeline graphic showing 25 years of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, 2001 to 2026, with membership growth from 6 to 10 states and headline statistics

The SCO Observatory has been substantially expanded: a live-updating Snapshot dashboard, a Security cooperation record with sourced RATS statistics, full declaration-text sourcing for all 26 summits (SCO Secretariat and national Ministries of Foreign Affairs, not third-party archives), a Trade and business opportunities section for chambers of commerce and investors, a Connectivity projects register covering nine major regional corridors, a member-comparison tool, a briefing generator that searches every section, and a position tracker showing where member states actually disagree.

The structured dataset behind it is downloadable from the Observatory’s citation section, and updates to it are logged in this category’s feed going forward.
