Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) was established in 2001 with specific geopolitical and economic objectives. Statement 1 is correct as the SCO Charter explicitly lists the 'promotion of a new democratic, fair and rational political and economic international order' as one of its primary goals and tasks. This objective is central to the organization's vision of global governance. Statement 2 is also correct; Iran, which previously held observer status, was officially accepted as a full permanent member of the SCO. Following the completion of the accession process, Iran joined the original members (China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan) and subsequent members (India and Pakistan) as a permanent state. Consequently, both statements provided in the question are accurate representations of the SCO's charter and current membership status.
