Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) as a cornerstone of inclusive global governance during the 25th Council of Heads of State meeting in Tianjin. With the SCO now spanning 26 countries and covering over 50 areas of collaboration, Xi framed the organization as a vital force for stability and development amid rising geopolitical tensions.
"The SCO’s growth reflects a shared commitment to mutual respect and win-win cooperation," Xi stated, highlighting its expansion from six founding members to a coalition representing nearly half of the world’s population. The organization’s focus spans security, economic integration, and cultural exchange, positioning it as a counterweight to unilateralism.
For business professionals, the SCO’s economic initiatives—from trade facilitation to infrastructure projects—offer new opportunities across Eurasia. Academics note its unique approach to balancing national sovereignty with collective action, while diaspora communities see it as a bridge connecting Asian nations through shared cultural and developmental goals.
As the SCO evolves, its role in shaping a multipolar world order continues to draw global attention, reinforcing Asia’s influence in addressing transnational challenges.
