Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh arrived in Tianjin on Sunday ahead of the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, set to convene leaders from across Asia to discuss regional security, economic collaboration, and multilateral partnerships. The event, hosted in the northern Chinese port city from August 31 to September 1, marks a critical platform for addressing shared challenges in Eurasia.
Khurelsukh's participation underscores Mongolia's strategic role as a dialogue partner within the SCO framework. Analysts highlight his planned bilateral meetings with leaders including General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping as pivotal for advancing cross-border infrastructure projects and energy cooperation.
The summit will focus on counterterrorism initiatives, digital economy integration, and sustainable development goals. Tianjin, a hub for international trade, is expected to showcase green technology advancements during side events. Over 15 member states and observer nations will attend, with livestreamed sessions addressing post-pandemic economic recovery strategies.
Residents of Tianjin have welcomed the influx of delegates, with enhanced security measures and cultural exhibitions highlighting Silk Road heritage. The SCO's expansion in recent years reflects Asia's growing influence in shaping global governance frameworks.
