Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim touched down in Tianjin on Sunday, gearing up for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit 2025. The high-profile event, set for August 31 to September 1, will bring together leaders from across Asia and beyond to discuss regional security, economic collaboration, and cultural exchanges.
Why SCO Matters

Anwar's Agenda
Insiders say Anwar aims to boost Malaysia's role in Southeast Asian supply chains while addressing shared challenges like cybersecurity. His visit also includes talks with Chinese officials on boosting tourism and student exchange programs—a win for globetrotters and academics alike!
What’s Next for Malaysia?
As the first SCO summit hosted in Tianjin since 2018, all eyes are on how emerging economies like Malaysia will shape the bloc's tech-savvy future. Stay tuned for updates on deals that could impact everything from your TikTok feed to your next vacation spot! 🚀🌐
