Recalling partnership with the regional group, Guterres said the UN Secretariat is strengthening its institutional links with the SCO.
The UN Office of Counter-Terrorism and other UN entities are developing cooperation frameworks with the SCO and its Regional Anti-Terrorism Structure, he added.
"I am particularly proud of our engagement with SCO on the United Nations Joint Plan of Action for the Implementation of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in Central Asia - the first regional initiative of its kind," said the secretary-general.
He expressed anticipation for further active engagement and close cooperation of the SCO with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime and the UN Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia.
In addition, Guterres maintained addressing terrorism and its links with transnational crime and drug trafficking takes many forms, and while security measures are vital, they are just one part of the solution.
In this regard, he said, the UN system is working with SCO countries to support holistic efforts to prevent and counter terrorism by dealing with root causes.
"I am confident that in joining our efforts, the United Nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization can make a positive contribution to the lives of people in Eurasia, strengthening regional cooperation at all levels," he said.
