Putin reminded the leaders of the member states of his government's proposal for "creating our own payment and settlement mechanism within the SCO."
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stressed the need to collectively combat terrorism and extremism.

"Over the past 23 years, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has emerged as a credible and effective transregional organization," Sharif highlighted. "This is the right time for the SCO to focus on enhancing the utilization of local currencies to foster economic prosperity collectively."

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, in a meeting with Putin, noted the active cooperation between the two countries' economies and the growing trend of mutual settlements in national currencies.

"The growth of trade turnover, both last year and this year, demonstrates that the economies of our countries are actively cooperating, and the fact that mutual settlements in national currencies are also on the rise is gratifying," Aliyev asserted.

He announced that the share of mutual settlements in national currencies exceeds 70% on exports from Azerbaijan to Russia, and around 50% on Russian exports to Azerbaijan.
