A Chinese Foreign Ministry official said last week that this year’s summit would be the largest when the SCO was founded in 2001, calling the block a “major force in a new type of international relations”.
Among the participants of the SCO Summit, from August 31 to September 1, in the northern port city of Tijan, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia.
The theme of this year’s meeting is “maintaining the Shanghai Spirit: SCO on this move.” The annual event is likely to focus on regional security, economic cooperation, trade and the long -term strategic direction of the SCO and on the key to the key.
The security -based block, which began as a group of six Eurasian countries, has expanded 10 permanent members and 16 dialogue and observer countries in recent years. Its delivery has also expanded security and counter -terrorism to economic and military cooperation.
In a separate X -post, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar said that Pakistan’s All -Weather Strategic Partnership with China was included in confidence and strategic alignment, in which President Xi Jinping’s leadership and measures such as Belt and Road were appreciated by global development, security and civilization.
He said that SCO has become an important Eurasian platform, pursuing cooperation in security, trade, energy, communication and culture.
In today’s multinational world, he added, the role of the SCO in strengthening multilateral, stability and comprehensive development was more important than ever. Dar said that during the Pakistan Summit, the Chinese leadership and other members of the SCO are waiting for constructive high -level engagements with the SCO member states.
