The Duran - News in Review - Episode 18.
With all eyes on the upcoming Trump-Kim summit in Singapore, the weekend summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization regional security bloc has gone largely under-reported by the western mainstream media.
When SCO summit gets under way in the Chinese port city of Qingdao on Saturday, the leaders from the eight-member bloc are expected to take on some very pressing geo-political issues, from the tensions on the Korean peninsula, to the Iran nuclear deal and a looming US driven trade war.
The SCO’s role has expanded over the years, from a regional security summit, to a political and economic cooperation bloc, with many analysts now characterizing the SCO as a post-cold war Eurasian counterbalance to NATO.
The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the SCO meeting, and how China and Russia will continue to deepen their alliance, as well as the blocs evolution to much more than an economic cooperation, as NATO may finally have a formidable adversary in the making.
