Economic Cooperation Organization

The Regional Cooperation for Development (RCD) or Organization for Regional Cooperation and Development (ORCD)[1] was a multi-governmental organization originally established on July 21, 1964 by Iran, Pakistan and Turkey, regional members of the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO), to promote regional economic cooperation and socioeconomic development.[2][3] Its headquarters were in Tehran, the capital of Iran.[4] Under this organization, Pakistan, with aid from Iran, was able to build the 813 km long N-25 highway, also known as the RCD highway.[2] Several other developments also took place in the member countries who were able to get and provide financial aid to each other.[2]

In 1979, the RCD was dissolved following the Iranian Revolution.[5] It was replaced by the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) in 1985. In 1992, seven new members were added to the ECO: Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.[6]
