TEHRAN, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- The spokesman of Iran's Constitutional Council said on Saturday the vetting body has approved the bill on the country's membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), reported the Mizan news agency of the Iranian judiciary.

During a televised interview, Hadi Tahan Nazif noted that, after reviewing the bill, the council did not see it as being in contradiction with the country's religious regulations and constitution.

In November 2022, the Iranian parliament approved the bill for Iran's SCO membership by the overwhelming majority of the lawmakers.

In September 2021, the 21st summit of the SCO leaders held in Dushanbe, Tajikistan declared the decision to start admitting Iran as a full member of the SCO.
