Leaders of member countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organizations (SCO) on Friday pledged joint efforts to fight against any attempts to revive fascism.
"All the SCO members will, as always, crack down on any attempts to conjure up the specter of fascism and to exploit extremism and terrorism," said a declaration issued here after the 14th meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State.
The whole world, including the SCO members, will celebrate in 2015 the 70th anniversary of the victory of the World War II and the anti-fascism war, which bears great significance, according to the Dushanbe Declaration.
All the SCO member countries and their peoples, it noted, made decisive contributions to the victory of the WWII and suffered huge loss during the war.
As the WWII has shown, said the declaration, it is of vital importance at present that all countries and political leaders be determined to avoid any repetition of such tragedies.
The SCO, founded in 2001, groups China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It also has Afghanistan, India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan as its observers, and Belarus, Sri Lanka and Turkey as dialogue partners.
