Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi will participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit on September 15 and 16, in Uzbekistan, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani revealed on Monday. 
 
Uzbekistan's acting Foreign Minister Vladimir Norov said on July 11 that a memorandum on Iran's obligations as an SCO member will be signed at the Samarkand summit, adding that Iran will be admitted this year to the SCO. 
 
"The president will take part in the SCO summit," Kanaani was quoted as saying by the Iranian Tasnim news agency.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is an economic, political, and security alliance comprising China, India, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Pakistan. SCO Observer countries include Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, and Mongolia, with Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cambodia, Nepal, Turkey, and Sri Lanka holding a dialogue partner status.

The SCO summit in Dushanbe last September began the procedure of Iran's accession as well as granting SCO partner status to Qatar, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.
