Nevertheless, the renewed call of the Russian foreign ministry on July 15 that foreign troops in central Asia must leave as the situation in Afghanistan had stabilised, should be interpreted as the SCO's worry about US encroachment in central Asia in the name of anti-terrorism. The US has also begun to feel uneasy about SCO's power in neutralising its ambition to "Americanise" central Asia. - Reproduced.  aInternational relations  aEconomic and Political Weekly
