E-commerce as one of the most developing types of economic activities plays an important role in the development of global trade and investment. E-commerce market of BRICS and SCO can become the largest in the world. It can give huge opportunities for our enterprises. To miss them means to fail and and be an outsider for many years.

The number of countries paying much attention to e-commerce cooperation is rapidly growing. They want to fasten the growth of international e-commerce and promote further economic and trade cooperation. 

However, despite last achievements, there are still some unsolved problems. They include lack of trust between investors and e-commerce participants, security threat, lack of changeability and compatible networks, language barriers, barriers for the representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises.
