The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) has released its inaugural declaration focusing on nuclear safety and security, a move prompted by escalating tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program and broader global concerns. Adopted at the SCO’s 25th-anniversary summit in Bishkek, the declaration explicitly condemns attacks targeting peaceful nuclear installations. The document, endorsed by all ten member states including China, Russia, and Iran, outlines a framework for practical cooperation in bolstering nuclear security. This landmark statement signals a unified stance from the SCO on safeguarding nuclear facilities against potential threats. The SCO’s move aims to reinforce global nuclear governance amidst growing instability and geopolitical challenges. It reflects a collective desire to prevent the weaponization of nuclear technology and ensure the safe and secure use of nuclear energy. This declaration underlines a united front toward de-escalation and responsible nuclear practices.
