A top priority of Iran's foreign policy is to enhance cooperation with regional countries, particularly its neighbours, President Ebrahim Raisi said.
He said that he will express the views of the Islamic Republic in the summit, and will also meet with the leaders and senior officials of the participating countries, including his Tajik counterpart, Emomali Rahmon, reports Xinhua news agency.
Visiting Tajikistan marks a new chapter in cultural, economic and political relations between the two states, said Raisi.
During this trip, a number of agreements will be signed between Tehran and Dushanbe in the fields of law, economics and agriculture, which will help develop the existing relations between the two countries, he noted.
The two-day SCO summit is scheduled to focus on regional issues, including that of Afghanistan.
The SCO was established in Shanghai in 2001 by China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
