Kazakhstan plays an important role in the development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and in shaping its future agenda, according to CGTN commentator Han Xuling. He noted that during Kazakhstan’s SCO chairmanship in 2023-2024, the country hosted more than 150 events across key areas of cooperation and also facilitated Belarus’s accession to the organization. Astana also supported the establishment of four centers to counter security threats, promoted the creation of the SCO Development Bank, and proposed setting up a Center for the Analysis of Water Problems. According to Han Xuling, the practical implementation of the agreements reached at the summit in Tianjin is now particularly important. Under current conditions, the SCO is expected to make a greater contribution to regional security, economic development, and the improvement of global governance mechanisms. In this context, the SCO summit in Bishkek serves as an important platform for defining the organization’s future priorities and concrete steps.
«The SCO
Summit in Bishkek will not only review the organization’s achievements over the
past 25 years, but will also mark the beginning of its next quarter-century.
The international community expects the SCO, guided by the “Shanghai Spirit,”
to continue contributing stability and certainty in both the region and the
world,» said Han Xuling,
CGTN commentator.
