Due to Afghanistan's neighborhood with the SCO member states, the events here have a direct impact on the SCO's economic and political cooperation and its fight against terrorism in the region. In this regard, the SCO-Afghanistan contact group was officially established in 2005, and Afghanistan was accepted as an observer member of the SCO in 2012. The article discusses the arrival of the "Taliban" in Afghanistan in 2021 and what invitations have appeared for the members of the SCO. The article describes how these challenges will look like for China, Russia and Central Asian countries. In addition, the views of these countries on Afghanistan are explained on the example of economic projects.
