Russian and Chinese leaders considered also possibility to combine two regional projects - The Eurasian Economic Union and the Silk Road Economic Belt.

The article is devoted to perspectives of further Shanghai Cooperation Organization expansion. Also, it provides analysis of currently SCO observer states policies, their motivation for becoming fully-fledged member states of the organization. Furthermore, the paper analyses possible impact of SCO expansion on the efficiency of the organization.
