Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has praised China's central role in advancing the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), calling it a driving force for regional stability and economic collaboration. In an exclusive interview with China Media Group in Minsk, Lukashenko emphasized China's “core position” in shaping the bloc’s growth and expressed optimism about its future contributions.
The SCO, which includes members from across Eurasia, has become a key platform for addressing security challenges and fostering multilateral trade. Lukashenko highlighted China’s “concrete actions” in strengthening infrastructure projects and digital connectivity initiatives, which align with the organization’s goals of promoting peace and shared prosperity.
Analysts suggest the remarks underscore growing recognition of China’s strategic leadership in Eurasian affairs. For businesses, the SCO’s expanding influence offers opportunities in cross-border logistics and green energy partnerships. Meanwhile, academics note the bloc’s potential to reshape geopolitical dynamics through its focus on non-aligned cooperation.
As the SCO prepares for its annual summit later this year, stakeholders across Asia and beyond will watch closely for new policies aimed at enhancing regional integration and cultural exchange.
