Among them:
• On July 4, Iran will become a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. That SCO online meeting will also see the signing of a memorandum on Belarus’s path to SCO membership.
• The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) will sign a free trade agreement with Iran this year.
• Other free trade agreements are in the works between the EAEU and Egypt, India, Indonesia, and the U.A.E.
