The SCO has matured into a robust framework, exuding strong vitality
With major emerging markets and developing countries such as China, Russia and India among its members, the SCO represents nearly half of the world's population and a quarter of the global economy, standing as a key pillar of regional stability and practical cooperation.
The Tianjin summit will mark President Xi's second time hosting the event. Since taking over the helm of China, Xi has attended 12 SCO summits, helping shape the SCO's strategic direction and propelling it toward a more influential role in global governance.
"The SCO has matured into a robust framework, exuding strong vitality," Xi said in the lead-up to the summit. "It has set an example of a new type of international relations."
