KEY POINTS
· Seen from the subcontinent, the SCO certainly looks better than the South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC).
· That India and Pakistan, whose differences have prevented even regular meetings of SAARC, are actively participating in the SCO, would point to its attractiveness.
· The SCO’s importance for Afghanistan seems self-evident when you look at its sponsors and members. Its founding leaders are the two great powers of the east Russia and China.
· While military confidence building measures have grown under the SCO banner, Russia had its own security organisation for the region, called the Central Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO).
· The Central Asian members of the SCO have quarrels of their own, and have struggled to develop collective approaches to their common regional security challenges.
· Turkmenistan, which is not part of SCO, has been quite open to engaging the Taliban in sync with its principles of neutrality.
· Iran, which has ethnic and linguistic links with the Persian-speaking Tajiks, appears equally worried about the Taliban’s policies towards minorities.
· Given this divergence, it is unlikely that the SCO can come up with a “regional solution” for the Afghan crisis. The only real Afghan convergence today is between Pakistan and China.
· Delhi has sought to make full use of the SCO’s diplomatic possibilities without any illusions about its effectiveness.
