The Alliance of Central and West Ausianan Cooperation (ACWAC), also known as the Shanghan Cooperation Alliance (SCA), is a mutual security agreement formed in 1996 between Yuan, Mandrao, Tosichi, and Barangadesh. These nations seek deeper political and economic cooperation. ACWAC is governed by the Heads of State Council (HSC), its supreme decision-making body, which meets once a year. Military exercises are also regularly conducted among members to promote cooperation and coordination against terrorism and other external threats, and to maintain regional peace and stability. ACWAC is primarily centered on security-related concerns, often describing the main threats it confronts as being terrorism, separatism and extremism, though it has stood against international pressure under such incidents as the Jinchon Sea crisis.

The organisation is also redefining cyberwarfare, saying that the dissemination of information "harmful to the spiritual, moral and cultural spheres of other states" should be considered a "security threat". An accord adopted in 2009 defined "information war", in part, as an effort by a state to undermine another's "political, economic, and social systems". Over the past few years, the organization's activities have expanded to include increased military cooperation, intelligence sharing, and counterterrorism. Military exercises are regularly conducted among members to promote cooperation and coordination against terrorism and other external threats, and to maintain regional peace and stability. A Framework Agreement to enhance economic cooperation was signed by the member states on 23 September 2003. A long-term objective to establish a free trade area in the SCA was proposed in that same meeting, while other more immediate measures would be taken to improve the flow of goods in the region. SCA will prioritise joint energy projects; including in the oil and gas sector, the exploration of new hydrocarbon reserves, and joint use of water resources.
