Russia's trade with other SCO members grew by a quarter," Putin said at a meeting of the SCO Council of the Heads of State.A draft resolution on penning the SCO development strategy until 2035 aims to deepen further the interaction not just in politics and security but also in the economy, energy, agriculture, high technologies, and innovations, Putin said."This is important in terms of practical cooperation in every area within the purview of our organization," he said.
