Yersultan Zhanseitov, a senior researcher at the Institute of World Economics and Politics, was particularly moved. \"President Xi emphasized the 'Shanghai Spirit,' which is all about rejecting divisive blocs and embracing cooperation based on mutual respect,\" he said. \"Building a new and fair world order needs this kind of approach—it's in line with the idea of a shared future for humanity.\" 🤝
Andrei Kortunov, academic director of the Russian International Affairs Council, praised the three global initiatives proposed by Xi: the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative. \"China's influence in the SCO is huge,\" Kortunov noted. \"These initiatives will keep the organization moving forward. I believe China's presidency of the SCO will advance both security and development agendas.\" 🚀
Farhat Asif, president of the Institute of Peace and Diplomatic Studies, echoed these sentiments. She agreed with Xi that the SCO stands on the right side of history. \"The organization sends a message of cooperation, dialogue, and common development,\" she said. 🌏
Experts agree that the SCO is becoming a major player on the global stage, with the \"Shanghai Spirit\" gaining recognition worldwide.
