| Summary / Abstract (Note) | EARLY IN JUNE 2012, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin arrived to the People's Republic of China with a state visit; it was at the same time that the SCO Heads of Governments Council met in Beijing.
The Moscow press reacted with "Disagreements between the RF and China Resurfaced at the Summit," "The Shanghai Organization Is Torn Apart by Organizers," "The Shanghai Organization of Competition," "The Beijing Summit: An Arena of Latent Moscow-Beijing Rivalry" and much more in the same vein. It was stressed that the Beijing SCO Summit had failed "to agree on the SCO long-term plans and sign the SCO Development Strategy" and had "merely" agreed to sign "The Strategic Plan for the Medium-Term Development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization"; 20-odd documents signed by Moscow and Beijing during President Putin's state visit were pushed aside and forgotten. |
