Q1. The Korean issue of nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula has become more sensitive recently. Will the leaders of SCO countries and observer states discuss this issue?

Q2. And President Hu Jintao will attend the first formal meeting of the so called BRIC countries, Brazil, Russia, India and China. They account for nearly 15 percent of global GDP, and 13 percent of the global trade volume. Opposition to trade protectionism in any form is a must for these four emerging economies. What outcome do you see from the meeting of BRIC country leaders ?
