China hosted a major summit to strengthen cooperation among members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. As a result, the SCO media and think tank network quickly became a central theme. From the beginning, it gained attention as a key platform for collaboration. In total, the summit welcomed over 400 participants from nearly 200 media outlets, research groups, and government bodies. Together, they represented SCO member states, observer nations, and partner countries.
During the sessions, leaders consistently highlighted the value of the SCO media and think tank network. Specifically, they emphasized its role in building trust and promoting dialogue. Moreover, delegates agreed the network helps countries cooperate more effectively. In turn, they explored many ways to tell stories, present facts clearly, and promote peace. Therefore, the network was seen as essential to regional understanding.
In addition, the summit strongly emphasized shared values such as peace, unity, and security. To build on this, China urged member states to use the SCO media and think tank network more actively. For example, they could amplify positive messages and reinforce common goals. Consequently, countries would be better prepared to tackle global and regional challenges.
Furthermore, participants addressed economic priorities like integration and modernization. As a next step, they recommended aligning national development plans through the SCO media and think tank network. This, in their view, would help spread success stories and inspire joint progress. Most importantly, their aim was to keep growth inclusive, fair, and balanced.
Meanwhile, cultural cooperation received strong support from several delegates. Notably, China encouraged the SCO’s media and academic collaboration platform to promote the Global Civilization Initiative. As expected, many participants stressed the importance of mutual respect and cultural diversity. Through dialogue and shared learning, they hoped to deepen people-to-people ties across nations.
At the same time, the summit tackled the topic of global governance. For this reason, leaders endorsed the SCO media and think tank network as a force for fairness and unity. On one hand, they rejected confrontation. On the other, they called for cooperation, multilateralism, and balanced partnerships.
In conclusion, the summit clearly demonstrated the rising influence of the SCO’s collaborative media and research platform. Moving forward, China and its partners committed to stronger cooperation in reporting, research, training, and policy work. With these steps, they aim to build stronger regional bonds and secure peace and prosperity for all.
