Adhering to the "Shanghai Spirit" and consolidating consensus on unity and cooperation
"At present, geopolitical turmoil is intensifying, and no country can avoid or respond to these global risks and challenges alone." Turdykul Butayarov, an expert at the Uzbekistan Central Asian International Research Institute, said that consensus building and win-win cooperation have become extremely important tasks in the world today. "The SCO is committed to achieving these goals, and the key to its attractiveness lies in valuing fairness and justice and seeking common development."
In his view, in the face of international changes, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has always adhered to the "Shanghai Spirit" since its establishment, pursued peaceful development, and is committed to building a new type of international relations. The SCO continues to attract new members and its attractiveness is becoming stronger, which reflects the inclusiveness and cohesion of the 'Shanghai Spirit'.
"The reason why Belarus joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is precisely because it values the enormous development potential of the organization as a regional cooperation organization." Andrei Rusakovic, a professor at the Eurasian Studies Department of the Belarusian National University, said that Belarus needs to use the platform of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to expand cooperation and exchanges at the multilateral level, deeply participate in regional development in various fields, and strengthen all-round cooperation with countries in the "global south".
According to Vasily Kashin, Director of the Center for European and International Studies at the Russian University of Economics, an increasing number of countries have expressed their willingness to strengthen their ties with the SCO or join the SCO family, fully demonstrating that the concepts upheld and advocated by the SCO are deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the development prospects are widely optimistic. "Faced with the accelerated evolution of the world pattern, we look forward to the SCO continuing to uphold the 'Shanghai Spirit' and injecting positive energy into maintaining lasting peace and common prosperity in the region and the world."
"This is the first time that a summit has been held in the form of the 'Shanghai Cooperation Organization+'. Standing at the beginning of a new era, as a cohesive and dynamic regional organization, we should unite our collective strength, strengthen our determination to open up the path of peace, prosperity, and sustainable development, and jointly address the complex challenges of the world today, making this collective stronger, more resilient, and more united." Navab said.
Alia Musabekova, an expert at the Kazakhstan Presidential Institute for Strategic Studies, pointed out that although the systems and perspectives of the SCO member states are different, they are actively seeking consensus and have a consensus on strengthening security cooperation and partnership. "Faced with challenges such as geopolitical turmoil, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization should continue to uphold the 'Shanghai Spirit', further enhance organizational cohesion, and promote global governance towards a more just and reasonable direction."
Consolidate pragmatic cooperation and promote regional peace and development together
Xie Yitov pointed out that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) plays a positive role in improving the regional security situation. For example, the SCO's regional anti-terrorism agencies have made active coordination arrangements in intelligence exchange, joint anti-terrorism exercises, and combating extremism, and member countries have conducted exchanges and training in the field of law enforcement.
Pakistan's first coordinator of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Babar Amin, witnessed the development process of the organization firsthand. He stated that the Afghanistan issue is an important issue of concern for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and greater efforts should be made to promote Afghanistan's path towards peaceful reconstruction.
Pragmatic cooperation is the driving force for the development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and civilized dialogue is the cohesion of the SCO partners. In the China Shanghai Cooperation Organization Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone (SCO Demonstration Zone) located in Qingdao, Shandong, Sayyid Sadakhmedov from Uzbekistan is a staff member of the comprehensive service platform here. He introduced that as of June this year, this platform has gathered about 14000 online enterprises, becoming one of the four major zones of China's international trade single window. "The SCO demonstration zone is becoming increasingly attractive, and friends from Central Asian countries are always asking me how to start a business here."
She said that member countries should leverage the advantages of the organization to deepen trade relations, strengthen connectivity, and create new development opportunities. "The initiative and measures proposed by the Chinese side will help the Shanghai Cooperation Organization strengthen political mutual trust, address common challenges, achieve sustainable development, and become an important platform for multilateral cooperation."
He believes that this will further enhance the mutual understanding among partners and enhance organizational cohesion. "Especially, China has proposed to provide 1000 youth exchange opportunities to China in the next five years, which will benefit countries that hope to learn from China's development experience." Lanaraja said, "Sri Lanka is a dialogue partner of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and we look forward to more Chinese wisdom helping Sri Lanka achieve its development goals."
Practice multilateralism and jointly build a better common home
Ding Xiaoxing, Director of the Eurasian Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Modern International Relations, said that the five suggestions are for the development planning direction of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the new stage, expanding from focusing on regional security to political mutual trust, cooperative development, and cultural exchanges. It also sends out the "Shanghai Cooperation Voice" to promote the construction of an equal and orderly world with multipolarity and inclusive economic globalization. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization should become an important force in promoting global governance towards a more just and reasonable direction.
"In the current situation, a cohesive SCO is not only in line with the common interests of all member states, but also in line with the trend of world multipolarity."
After the Astana Summit, China took over as the rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Heba Jamal, a member of the Egyptian Foreign Affairs Committee, is full of expectations for this: "The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) practices true multilateralism, continuously enriches and develops cooperation mechanisms, and aims to promote the construction of a more just and reasonable world order. China is a trustworthy partner and responsible major country. Chinese leaders sincerely strive to promote world development and prosperity, and China has played a stable pillar role in the turbulent world. We look forward to China continuing to contribute wisdom to the development of the SCO family."
