New Delhi, Dec 2: India has invited fellow member countries of the Shanghai Cooperation
Organisation to be part of its growth story.
"In the background of sluggish economic growth in the

we would like the other SCO members to be part of India’s growth story,"
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said, addressing the 16th meeting of
the Council of SCO Heads of Governments in the Russian coastal city of Sochi on

We look forward to the SCO to interacting actively and participating in Energy Club’s initiatives in this regard."The next meeting of the Council will held next year in Tajikistan in 2018. UNI
