As the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) prepares for its upcoming summit in Tianjin, global experts are buzzing about its growing role in shaping a more equitable world order. 🌍 With the Global South stepping into the spotlight, this 24-year-old alliance is proving it’s more than just a regional player—it’s a bridge-builder for 3.2 billion people across Eurasia.
Why the SCO Matters Now
Hosted by CGTN’s Huang Jiyuan and Azerbaijan’s AnewZ presenter Anastasia Lavrina, a recent panel dug into how the SCO tackles big-ticket items like:
🤝 Supercharging South-South cooperation
📉 Closing development gaps through tech sharing
💡 Syncing with China’s Belt and Road Initiative for mega-projects
One panelist called the SCO’s 'Shanghai Spirit' philosophy—emphasizing mutual trust and non-interference—a 'blueprint for 21st-century diplomacy.' Could this be the antidote to today’s polarized geopolitics?
Tianjin’s Agenda: What to Watch
With leaders from Iran to India at the table, the summit aims to launch new partnerships in green energy and digital infrastructure. 💻⚡ Analysts predict fresh moves to counter food insecurity and streamline cross-border trade—key wins for developing economies.
As one expert put it: 'The SCO isn’t just talking multipolarity—it’s building it brick by brick.' 🧱 With youth-driven innovation and climate action topping the next decade’s agenda, this Tianjin meeting might just set the tone for the Global South’s rise.
