Tajik President Emomali Rahmon has arrived in Tianjin, China, kicking off preparations for the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit. The high-stakes event, scheduled for August 31 to September 1, will bring together leaders from across Eurasia to discuss regional security, economic collaboration, and cultural ties.

🌉 Tianjin Takes Center Stage: Local residents are rolling out the red carpet (literally!) with cultural performances and high-tech security measures. The city\'s iconic Eye of Tianjin Ferris wheel is already lit up in SCO member-state colors.
