“This is a platform for coordinating positions. The principles that the SCO declares also matter when they diverge throughout the world. For example, we agreed in the Astana declaration that all SCO countries oppose the deployment of any weapons in space. This is still a signal to the rest of the world about how we feel about the militarization of outer space,” Putin said at the SCO summit.
The summit took place in Astana on July 3-4.
