Shanghai summit: Is it really a suitcase without a handle?
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization has a slightly troubled history given foot-dragging by Moscow, but if China-India strategic communication gains traction, the SCO could become a key forum
Kortunov admitted that Russia and China had different priorities. While China was focused on the Central Asian region, Russia expected the SCO to wade into major issues of concern to Moscow in regional security. Some bitterness developed in Moscow when organizers showed reluctance to get entangled with controversial issues such as Chechnya and Russia’s conflict with Georgia. Then the bitterness turned into rancor when the SCO failed to endorse Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Meanwhile, on Afghanistan, both China and Russia bypassed the SCO, since each had specific interests to pursue and had own methods of leveraging the situation to its advantage. It was the perfect recipe for SCO inaction. Again, while China placed emphasis on the economic dimension of SCO cooperation, it ran into headwinds when Moscow cold-shouldered Beijing’s push for an SCO free-trade zone. Moscow feared that an FTA would lead to China’s possible economic expansion in Eurasia. Fundamentally, Russia is lukewarm about the idea of the SCO spearheading regional integration. Its core agenda is that the Moscow-led Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) ought to be the key driver of Eurasian integration so that Moscow pilots the process.
As Kortunov noted: “China was eventually forced to shift the focus of its economic strategy in Eurasia from the SCO to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and the free-trade zone idea is hardly ever mentioned in the latest SCO documents.” But even here, Russia began stalling, as its comfort level with the BRI is low. Russia would rather do cherry picking with BRI.

New factors have crept in
Meanwhile, even if Russia goes the extra mile to woo China to transform the SCO into the “NATO of the East” (which is highly unlikely), new factors have crept in and a consensus may be difficult to reach. The US also created a new format with the five Central Asian states known as “C5+1”. Uzbekistan, which has always been keen to hold the American hand, is taking a lead role under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Uzbekistan has always been the joker in the Central Asian pack. It is averse to regional integration (except under its leadership). But without it, regional integration is a non-starter. President Trump did a smart thing recently by inviting Mirziyoyev to the White House. Mirziyoyev’s performance at Qingdao will come under scrutiny.
