? ? ?After accession of India and Pakistan to the SCO, the technical issue of using English in the organization’s work has not been resolved yet. Russian and Chinese are the two official languages, and there is no translation service from English yet in the SCO Secretariat. To tackle this issue, official delegations of the two Member States hire interpreters at the market. Denis Paletskiy has been providing interpretation services for the Indian delegation since summer 2017.
