Belarus comes the Safety organization at-Effects on East-West relationships

(dpa)-the official admission of Belarus, an authoritarian land, to the shanghaier Organization for collaboration (SCO) marks a significant change in international relationships. At a meeting in Astana, the Russian President Vladimir Putin , China's party and state chief XI Jinping and other state leaders on membership of Belarus. This step is expected to have an impact on the political landscape and the cooperation between East and West.

The SCO, which was founded in 2001 to combat terrorism, now includes Belarus, but also countries such as India, Pakistan, Iran and the Central Asian countries of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The expansion to Belarus could move the power structure within the organization and create new dynamics in relationships between the member countries.

Membership in the SCO could expose Belarus to increased control and possibly also influence by Russia and China. It will be interesting to see how these new connections will affect the political and economic balance in the region. In addition, it will be shown whether Belarus will use the opportunity to reduce its international isolation and forge new strategic partnerships.

The relationships between Russia and China could also receive a new dimension, since both countries are involved in different sides in the Ukraine conflict. The promise of XI Jinping to continue to stand up for a peaceful solution in Ukraine shows the effort for stability in the region and the protection of bilateral relationships.

Overall, the inclusion of Belarus in the SCO represents a significant step that could change the balance of power in the global security landscape and redefined geopolitical relationships between east and west.
