As leaders gather in Astana for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit, the spotlight is on how this influential bloc will tackle modern challenges beyond its original security focus.

During a live roundtable discussion, CGTN reporters and international relations experts highlighted three major themes:
🌍 Expanding economic partnerships to counter global trade shifts
🔐 Balancing cybersecurity with digital innovation
🎭 Strengthening cultural exchanges among member states

Analysts suggest climate action and youth engagement could dominate side talks.
With 40% of the world’s population represented, decisions here could ripple through global markets and diplomatic corridors. Stay tuned for updates! 📈🌏
