Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that SCO members have agreed on Friday to fully grant Iran membership to the organization.

Chinese President Xi Jinping revealed during the Tajikistan summit that Iran will be considered a full member of the organization as of today, adding that countries must be fully supported for them to discover their approaches in development, and the systems of government that best befit their domestic situation, and that the future of development and evolution in our countries must be in our hands.

In a televised statement, the Russian President expressed that Russia supported Iran's full membership in the SCO, detailing that Iran plays a crucial role in the region.

Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi lauded the move, stating that his country can be a link to Eurasia, through a pathway tying the north to the south.
