China is hitting the accelerator on its role as the new head of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)! 🚀 On Thursday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced that China is rapidly advancing its presidency work for the 2024-2025 term.
They've even unveiled a cool new emblem featuring the slogan \"Upholding the Shanghai Spirit: SCO on the move,\" written in Chinese, Russian, and English, circling around the main design. Talk about a global vibe! 🌐
At a regular press conference, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning highlighted that the emphasis on \"action\" in the slogan shows China's commitment to taking practical steps to boost cooperation within the SCO. She mentioned that China will be more proactive in enhancing the SCO mechanism, building a community with a shared future, and exploring new opportunities for win-win cooperation. 🙌
\"As we enter the year of 2025, China is advancing its work of presidency at a faster pace,\" Mao said. \"China will host a summit featuring friendship, solidarity, and fruitful outcomes, along with more than 40 institutionalized meetings.\"
But that's not all! China plans to host major events like the SCO political parties forum, forums on poverty reduction and people-to-people exchanges, a friendship cities forum, and the SCO International Investment and Trade Expo. 🌟
And for all the culture enthusiasts out there, get ready for flagship events such as a film festival, TV festival, art festival, a youth innovation and entrepreneurship competition, and even a Chinese calligraphy competition! 🎉🖌️
Since taking over the rotating presidency, China has already kicked off several events, including the Green Development Forum and the 42nd meeting of the Council of the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure. It looks like there's a lot more in store! Stay tuned! 😉
