The prime ministers also adopted the SCO budget for 2008 and issued a joint communiqué that defines new areas of the organization’s development and sums up previous cooperation results.
A special working group on cooperation between customs administrations was instructed to maintain work on creating conditions for unification of customs, administrative and transportation rules, the communiqué said.
