This organization is an old organization that was established in 1984 between the three countries of Iran, Turkey and Pakistan, and it is now about 40 years old.
Of course, ECO was not limited to these three countries and in 1372 the countries of Afghanistan, Republic of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan also joined the ECO organization.
If managed and valued correctly, ECO can play a serious and important role in the development of relations between member countries.
In the new meeting that took place in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, with this organization, it seems that the decision is for the ECO organization to act a little more actively.
This issue is important in terms of the economic relations of the countries that are members, so that they can interact with each other in a complementary way.
It is better that relations between ECO countries expand strategically.
These countries can meet many of each other's economic needs, and the economic advantages of these countries can be considered complementary.
The fact is that the effectiveness of ECO depends on the determination of the officials of its member countries.
Considering the regional public space and the fact that regional issues, both in theoretical and practical areas, are among the decision-making priorities of governments, regional agreements can have more appropriate effects than in the past.
Today, the approach of international relations in the field of economy is more on regional agreements, and Eko, considering its geopolitical position in this region, can be one of those good regional agreements.
In the past, the officials and the policymakers of the international relations of the countries did not pay much attention to ECO and arranged their needs with other countries.
In fact, the ECO organization and the use of regional agreements have not been established as a basis for regional countries.
It seems that currently the ECO member countries have come to the conclusion that they can be of economic help.
