Pakistan's and India's expected memberships in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation will see the body represent "nearly half of the world's population", Pakistan's Ambassador to China Masood Khalid told China Daily.

The SCO - with its focus on regional stability and jointly combating terrorism - currently includes China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
