Liveblog: Eurasian Leaders Gather for SCO Summit in Bishkek

Karzai says his country is on the front-line of the international fight against terrorism and organizations like Al-Qaeda and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan have chosen Afghanistan for their operations. He says he hopes the U.S. will continue supporting Kabul in its fight against terrorism.

Atambaev says he is concerned with developments in Afghanistan. He says the worsening security situation could negatively impact surrounding countries.

Putin: As of today Syria becomes a full participant of the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. I think we must welcome such decision by the Syrian leaders. I hope this will become a very important step towards the resolution of the Syrian crisis. It confirms our Syrian partners' serious intention to follow this path.

Final Summit documents have been signed - no apparent breakthroughs.

"SCO members are willing to intensify the Shanghai Convention on combating terrorism and the cooperation program for member states in the fight against terrorism, separation and extremism from 2013-2015."

They also agree on combating illicit drug trafficking and on the "modernization of national economies."

Bilateral meetings will take place in the coming hours.

From the Bishkek Declaration on Syria:

-"The settlement of international and regional conflicts must be carried out exclusively by peaceful political and diplomatic means, on the basis of equality, respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states, non-interference in the internal affairs of states and the avoidance of the use of, or threat of force."

-"Member states support the speedy resolution of the crisis in Syria by the Syrians themselves, subject to the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic, the cessation of violence in the country and the launch of broad political dialogue between the authorities and the opposition, without preconditions."

-"They strongly condemn all acts of terrorism and violence against the civilian population, particularly on religious or ethnic grounds and oppose illegal actions aimed at further militarization of the internal conflict in Syria."

-"Member states support the initiative to transfer Syrian chemical weapons under international supervision and their subsequent destruction."

On Iran:
It is important to maintain the momentum of the negotiation process, devised in meetings of representatives of the "Group of Six" international mediators with Iran in Almaty in February and April 2013.

Putin and Rohani scheduled to hold first bilateral meeting in 35 minutes.

Rohani earlier today:

"The human tragedy in Syria can only be resolved through political means with dialogue between the Syrian government and the Syrian groups opposed to it, without the specter of foreign military intervention. All parties who can exert influence, like Iran, should make efforts to help ensure that such constructive dialogue can take place."

Granted, the SCO Summit is a rather dry affair, but it's not without intrigue. This Twitter user points out that the leaders of China and Kyrgyzstan appear to have exchanged ties with each other.
