¡¡¡¡The SCO institutions consist
of two parts: the meeting mechanism and the permanent organs. The highest SCO
organ is the Council of Heads of State. Regular sessions of the Council of Heads
of State are held once a year in member states alternately according to the
Russian alphabetical order of the country names. The host country of the session
of the Council of Heads of State assumes the rotating presidency of the
organization. Uzbekistan is the current state of presidency.
¡¡¡¡The SCO institutions also include the Council of Heads of Government, the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, the Conference of Heads of Agencies, the Council of National Coordinators, the Secretariat and the Regional Anti-Terrorism Structure (RATS). ¡¡¡¡In January 2004, the SCO officially launched the Secretariat as a standing executive organ in Beijing and the RATS as a permanent organ in Tashkent.
