Hey amigos! 🎉 The stage is set in Tianjin, a bustling port city in the Chinese mainland, for the biggest Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit yet. From August 31 to September 1, over 20 leaders and 10 international org chiefs are gathering to celebrate past wins, chart the road ahead, and build a closer SCO community. 🌏
We traveled to Islamabad to catch up with Pakistani minds on the street. Pakistani expert Mushahid Hussain Syed says it loud and clear: “SCO has become a major plank of Asia, of the Global South.” 🔥 His words highlight how this bloc is flexing unity and shared goals beyond borders.
At its core is the “Shanghai Spirit” – think mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, respectful consultations, and respect for diverse civilizations. It’s like the ultimate team-up of global vibes, leveling up cooperation and mutual development. 🤝
Local residents in Pakistan are buzzing with excitement. From market traders to university students, many see the SCO as a path to stronger trade ties, security partnerships, and cultural exchange. 💬 One scholar told us it’s a “game-changer for emerging markets.”
As the summit unfolds, all eyes are on how the SCO will push forward on trade, digital innovation, and green growth. Will this global South powerhouse keep leveling up? Stay tuned for more insights. 😉
