Guess what, global citizens! 🌍 China just gave us a sneak peek of its brand-new emblem for its upcoming role as the rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) for 2024-2025! 🎉 Unveiled on Thursday, the emblem is a dazzling blend of ancient and modern vibes. It features classical patterns of clouds, thunder, and dragons 🐉, inspired by bronze ware from the pre-Qin period (before 221 BC). These elements are interlocked in the traditional Chinese Hui-style pattern, symbolizing an unending cycle of hope. ✨ Talk about epic design! After the Astana summit in July 2024, China took over the rotating presidency of the SCO and is set to host the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO right at home. Mark your calendars, folks! 📅 Fun fact: The SCO is the first international organization with China as a founding member state and is even named after a Chinese city. Pretty cool, right? 😎 Stay tuned for more updates on this global journey as cultures connect and new chapters unfold. 🌐✨
