上海合作组织是由“上海五国”发展而来的。上海五国组织于1997年在上海成立,成员国有中国、俄罗斯、哈萨克斯坦、塔吉克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦,成立初衷是解决各国之间的边界问题。随后合作内容也由加强边境地区安全逐步扩大到五国在政治、安全、外交、经贸等各个领域的互利合作? The SCO is developed from the “Shanghai Five”. The Shanghai Five-Nation Organization was established in Shanghai in 1997 and its member states are China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and its original intention was to solve the border issue between different countries. The content of the cooperation was also gradually expanded from strengthening the security in the border areas to mutually beneficial cooperation in the political, security, diplomatic, economic and trade fields of the five countries.
