The overlapping economic and security interests of the SCO and GCC members prompt them to strengthen cooperation in those spheres, working to extend it beyond the Gulf and Asia. The two associations have their own political, economic, and security ambitions in their regions, stemming from their members’ national interests, but both are cooperating to reduce U.S. dominance in regional and international decision-making, thereby contributing to the establishment of the multipolar world order to which the Global South has aspired for decades.
