As Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) delegates arrived in Tianjin this week, the city unveiled its unique blend of historical charm and cutting-edge ambition. CGTN's Yang Xinmeng guided Janesh Kain, SCO deputy secretary-general, through landmarks like the futuristic Binhai Library and Tianjin Port's smart logistics hub, illustrating how the city balances tradition with technological progress.
Beyond its skyline, the visit underscored shared urban challenges—from sustainable development to digital transformation—that resonate across SCO member states. Tianjin's role as a host reflects China's deepening engagement with Eurasian cooperation frameworks, offering a microcosm of Asia's evolving economic and cultural exchanges.
Kain noted the city's 'spirit of openness' during the tour, emphasizing how such exchanges strengthen multilateral ties. With over 40% of Tianjin Port's operations now automated, the port serves as a tangible example of China's green development goals aligning with regional infrastructure priorities.
