Tianjin’s skyline transformed into a dazzling display of lights Thursday night as a vibrant show lit up the Haihe River, kicking off preparations for the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit. The event marks China’s latest effort to showcase its role as a global collaborator ahead of what’s set to be the SCO’s biggest gathering yet. 🎆
Over 20 foreign leaders and 10 heads of international organizations are expected to attend the summit, scheduled for August 31 to September 1, 2025. The light show—featuring laser projections of SCO member flags and cultural motifs—symbolizes the bloc’s theme of “unity through diversity.” 🌐
With the SCO expanding its influence across Eurasia, this summit could shape regional security and economic partnerships. For Tianjin, a bustling port city, the event is a chance to shine as a hub for diplomacy and innovation. 💡
