🌐 Think of the SCO as a global team-up tackling rising conflicts, economic gaps and governance challenges. With nearly half the world's population under its umbrella, this group is flexing some serious muscle for fairness and justice.
Last July at the Astana Summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping outlined a "common home" built on solidarity, mutual trust, peace and tranquility, prosperity and development, good-neighborliness and friendship—as well as fairness and justice. His call set the stage for the next big meet.
In a few months, Tianjin will host the largest SCO summit ever: over 20 country leaders and heads of 10 international organizations will gather to map out a more equitable multipolar order. The agenda? Zero in on peace deficits, boost development, strengthen security and fill global governance gaps.
Stepping up as a champion of democratic, representative governance, the SCO firmly opposes unilateral moves. The 2024 Astana Summit reinforced its push for a United Nations-centered order and a stronger UN overall.
Meanwhile, SCO foreign ministers agreed this July to mark the UN's 80th anniversary by doubling down on the UN's authority, aiming to build a fairer and more just global system. It's a bold blueprint—fairness, not force, leading the way.
