About Logo Design Contest for India’s Chairmanship of the SCO

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) invites logo designs for forthcoming India’s Chairmanship of the SCO.

Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is a regional multilateral organization comprising 8 Member States, namely India, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan. Besides economic, trade and cultural cooperation, the SCO is a useful multilateral platform for cooperation in countering terrorism and illicit drug trafficking.
