The 12th summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) is opening on Tuesday with leaders from ten member states participating, including Central Asian republics, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey.
President Asif Ali Zardari is representing Pakistan at the ECO summit and will address the gathering on Tuesday.
During the visit Zardari will hold meetings with Azerbaijan’s leadership and representatives of other ECO member countries on the sidelines of the summit.
The ECO is an intergovernmental organisation with the common objective to establish a single market for goods and services, much like the European Union.
