ECO is a regional organisation founded by Iran, Pakistan and Turkey in 1985 to promote economic and cultural cooperation among member countries.
The number of ECO members increased to 10 with the admission of seven new countries, including Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
