Recently, national coordinators from Pakistan, Tajikistan, Iran and other SCO member states came to China to participate in relevant activities within the SCO framework. They affirmed China’s efforts in accelerating various work as the SCO chairmanship and indicated that they will actively support the work of the Chinese chairmanship.
After the SCO summit in Astana last July, China officially took over the SCO’s rotating presidency for 2024 to 2025. China will host the SCO summit and more than 100 meetings and events within the SCO framework, and is committed to hosting a friendly, united and fruitful SCO summit.
“As the rotating chair of the SCO, China has worked very hard. I believe this summit will be an extraordinary one in the history of the SCO.” Elisabeth Chernysheva, an expert on the SCO Secretariat, believes that thanks to the efforts of all parties, the SCO is now a very attractive organization for many countries from different regions. She is confident that China will host a successful SCO summit.
“In addition to cooperation in the security field, we are also focusing on the economy, trade, industry and so on, and we see the Chinese playing a very active role in coming up with new ideas, organizing meetings and events, which shows that we are moving in the right direction.” Sco national coordinator for Iran, Kiyai said.
The foreign guests paid great attention to the important role played by the SCO in international and regional issues. Sohail Khan, deputy Secretary-General of the SCO, said that the Shanghai Spirit advocated by the SCO emphasizes equality, consensus, mutual respect and mutual understanding. We should continue to carry forward the “Shanghai Spirit” and contribute “SCO wisdom” to sustainable international and regional development.
“I think the role of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is getting stronger day by day. Thanks to these organizations, the world is more peaceful and tranquil.” Sco secretariat level expert Dao Bowei said.
