Casual Friday: SCO has a secret member
Well, to finish out a week of SCO backgrounders, I just want to include an uh, informative video of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. It seems that this video shows citizens of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea that President Kim Jong Il is also a participant in Shanghai Cooperation Organization events and meetings.
You will notice that the DPRK came up–say, never–in this previous week’s list of participants. That is because, as far as I know, the DPRK is still the object of secuirity concern to SCO hard-hitters China and Russia, rather than an ally in SCO security cooperation.
In this ultimately plotless, half-minute video, we see the leaders of Russia, China, Belarus, and the DPRK against a backdrop of flags in lush color.
