Russian President Vladimir Putin visited China on an official visit in June 2016, during which he held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and discussed, among other things, issues of Syrian settlement and stability in Central Asia, taking into account Afghan issues, as well as cooperation in the field of energy . As a result of the negotiations, more than 50 documents were signed. Putin later met with Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Tashkent. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) believes that the main direction of common activity is ensuring security in the SCO spaces. It is necessary to further increase the potential of the regional anti-terrorist structure, improve the coordination of law enforcement agencies within the UN and other international organizations, speed up the preparation of the draft SCO Convention on Combating Extremism, and update the anti-drug strategy and program for its implementation. The SCO countries also spoke out against the unilateral build-up of missile defense systems, territorial integrity and the political process in Syria, and agreed to help Afghanistan.

A specially created Russian-Chinese joint venture is working on the project. It is engaged in the development, production, sales and after-sales services of wide-body long-haul aircraft. The scope of his activities will also include investment and financial activities for the project.
Moscow and Beijing stressed the need to prevent the emergence of terrorist safe havens and the importance of combating the spread of terrorist ideology, radical ideas that give rise to terrorism, stopping recruitment, preventing the movement of terrorists and foreign fighters, strengthening border controls and having effective legal aid and extradition mechanisms. Moreover, emphasizing the need for a strong international legal regime based on the principle of “zero tolerance for direct or indirect support of terrorism,” the parties called on the international community to make real efforts aimed at adopting a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism in the near future. The countries are drawing closer together militarily, holding their first joint naval exercises in the South China Sea, and working together to oppose US plans to deploy a missile defense system in South Korea.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is an international organization founded in 2001 by the leaders of China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. With the exception of Uzbekistan, the rest of the countries were members of the Shanghai Five, founded as a result of the signing in 1996-1997. agreements between Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Russia and Tajikistan on strengthening confidence in the military field and on the mutual reduction of armed forces in the border area.

To prepare and conduct meetings, by prior agreement of the Member States, working groups of experts may be created on a permanent or temporary basis, carrying out their activities in accordance with the work regulations approved at meetings of heads of ministries and/or departments. These groups are formed from representatives of ministries and/or departments of member states.
The regional anti-terrorist structure of the member states of the Shanghai Convention on Combating Terrorism, Separatism and Extremism of June 15, 2001 is a permanent body of the SCO.

BRIC (BRIC), since 2010 BRICS (BRICS) (from the English. Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa – “Brazil, Russia, India, China”, South Africa”) – a group of countries with the largest area and population, that develop, a term that is often used in economics.
For 2010-2015 a specialized fund that invested money in the BRIC countries decreased by 8 times. In the fall of 2015, Russia and Brazil were mired in recession, China's growth slowed to its lowest rate since 1990, and the South African economy stalled. The project completely lost its investment appeal, and on November 8, 2015, the investment bank Goldman Sachs announced the closure of this fund. This term was coined by Jim O'Neill, a global economist at Goldman Sachs in 2001.
Following South Africa's accession to Brick on 18 February 2011, the Indian Finance Minister announced that the group would henceforth be known as BRICS. The large size of these countries and their large populations ensure rapid development and, according to Goldman Sachs, by 2050 their economies together could exceed the combined size of the economies of the richest modern developed countries (the G7).
Goldman Sachs did not assume that there would be coordination of economic policies between the BRIC countries. Moreover, the BRIC countries were not supposed to form an economic bloc or an official trade association like the European Union. However, over time, there have been signs that "the four BRIC countries are seeking to form a political club" or "alliance" and thus convert "their growing economic power into greater geopolitical 'influence'." One of the recent signs is the summit of foreign ministers of countries in 2009 in Yekaterinburg. BRICS members are the largest among countries that are developing rapidly. The favorable location of these countries ensures the presence of many resources important for the global economy:
