Established 14 years ago to tackle regional terrorism and security issues, the organization is putting more focus on economic issues this year.
Leaders from the member states, as well as observer countries, will issue a declaration on regional economic cooperation.
This will stress support by member states of regional development strategies, including the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative. Infrastructure and finance will be a priority in cooperation.
And member states are also expected to discuss the establishment of an SCO free trade zone and SCO development bank.
