Dmitry Medvedev’s remarks at the  SCO Heads of Government Council Meeting

Mr Rasulzoda,

Ladies and gentlemen,

 First of all, I would like to thank our colleagues from Tajikistan for their hospitality and the comfortable working conditions.

We have completed the work in a restricted format. We exchanged opinions on what is necessary to do to update the agenda of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. We talked about trade, investment, the digital agenda, high technology, transport, industrial production and energy. It is important to use all our resources to achieve the best results. 

More to be soon…
