As the 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit prepares to convene in Tianjin on August 31, the event's media center has already sprung to life, offering a preview of the high-stakes diplomacy and cross-border collaboration to come. Journalist Xu Xinchen, among the first to explore the facility, described it as a “nerve center of global storytelling,” equipped with multilingual support teams and real-time translation systems catering to over 1,200 registered journalists from 25 countries and regions.
A Hub of Innovation and Collaboration
The center features interactive digital displays mapping SCO member states' economic growth trajectories and climate initiatives, alongside dedicated zones for bilateral meetings. “The integration of AI-powered analytics tools here allows journalists to track emerging themes across speeches and declarations in real time,” Xu noted, highlighting its value for business analysts monitoring Central Asian trade trends.
Preparing for Global Dialogue
With rehearsals underway for the leaders' forum—which will host heads of state from the Chinese mainland, Russia, India, and Central Asian nations—the media hub underscores Tianjin's growing role in facilitating pan-Asian cooperation. Technical crews were observed testing 5G-enabled broadcast equipment, ensuring seamless coverage of discussions on regional security and infrastructure development.
