Tianjin: Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to touch the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in China on Sunday to attend the Chinese -led summit.
The two -day meeting hosted by President Xi Jinping, 80 years after the end of World War II, will gather around 20 world leaders in the northern port city, a few days before the large -scale military parade in Beijing.
The SCO includes China, India, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Belarus.
China and Russia have sometimes defeated the SCO as an alternative to the NATO military alliance.
In an interview on China’s Sinhava News Agency on Saturday, Putin said the next summit would “strengthen the SCO’s ability to respond to contemporary challenges and threats, and strengthen solidarity in place of joint Eurasian”.
“This will help create a multi -polar World Order,” Putin said.
Since China’s claims about Taiwan and Russia’s attack on Ukraine have seen them a confrontation with the United States and Europe, experts say Beijing and Moscow are anxious to use a platform like SCO.
“China has long tried to present the SCO as a non -Western -led power block, which promotes a new type of international relations, which claims it,” said Dilin Loh, assistant professor of Nanning Technological University in Singapore, which is more democratic.
“In short, it offers a Chinese -affected multilateral order that is different from Western majority people in international politics,” LOH told AFP.
More than 20 leaders, including Iranian and Turkish presidents Samud Pajishkian and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, will attend the largest block meeting after its establishment in 2001.
The LOH added, “Massive participation identifies China’s growing influence and its appeal as the SCO’s platform for non -Western countries.”
“Through Beijing, the SCO,” will try to influence the project and indicate that Eurasia has its own organization and rules, “said Lizi Lee of the Asia Society’s Policy Institute.
“It has been built around sovereignty, non -interference and multilateral, which is developed as a Chinese model,” Lee told AFP.
Talking on the edge.
Chinese President XI met with leaders, including Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Medboli and Cambodian Prime Minister Han Moniet in Tianjan on Saturday.
Other bilateral meetings will be organized on the edge of the summit.
Putin is expected to discuss the Ukraine conflict and Tehran’s nuclear program, respectively, with Turkey’s Erdogan and Iran’s Poshiskin.
Putin needs “all the benefits of the SCO as a global player and the world’s second largest economy,” said Lem Tai Wei, a professor at the University of Japan and East Asia expert Lem Tai Wei.
“Russia also wants to win India, and India’s trade friction with the United States offers this opportunity,” Lemm told AFP.
The summit comes a few days later when India was targeted in US taxes on its goods as a punishment for the purchase of Russian oil in New Delhi.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Tianjin on Saturday evening after a trip to Japan, he traveled to Japan on the eve of his first visit since 2018.
The two most populous countries are fierce rivals that are competing for influence throughout Asia and fought a deadly border conflict in 2020.
A melting began last October when Modi met XI at a summit in Russia for the first time in five years.
Modi was not included in the list of participants of the Beijing Parade published by Chinese state media on Thursday, which included Indonesian President Prabov Sabento, Myanmar’s Jinta Chief Man Ang Hilling and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
