Iran joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) on Tuesday, a move that will see the country further strengthen its trade ties with China, Russia, India and other Asian states.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told a meeting of the group on Tuesday that he hoped his country's entry would "provide a platform for collective security, lead to sustainable development, expand links and communications, strengthen unity, respect the sovereignty of countries more than ever before, and provide synergies to deal with environmental threats."

The SCO encompasses huge swathes of the planet, and includes around half the world's population when including non-members observers and "dialogue partners".

Iran is keen to reduce its longstanding isolation from the world economy, a result of US sanctions, and joining the SCO is likely aimed at facilitating this.

'Ready for the future?'

Iran's entry into the SCO - which has its headquarters in China - leaves the diplomatic organisation with nine full members, the others being China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
