A delegation of national coordinators from Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states stepped into the past 🕰️ this Friday, touring Beijing’s Museum of the Communist Party of China (CPC) during a pivotal week of diplomacy. The visit, part of the SCO’s Council of National Coordinators meeting, highlighted the blend of history and modern cooperation shaping Asia’s geopolitical landscape.
📜 The museum walkthrough showcased the CPC’s century-long journey, with exhibits detailing key moments from China’s revolutionary era to its rise as a global economic powerhouse. Delegates from countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, and India engaged with interactive displays—think ‘Hamilton’-level drama but with policy docs and vintage propaganda art. 🎨
🇨🇳⚖️ The timing isn’t random: the SCO meeting focused on strengthening regional security and economic ties, with Beijing positioning itself as a bridge between East and West. As one coordinator noted, “Understanding China’s past helps us navigate its vision for the future—especially initiatives like the Belt and Road.”
🌐 With youth-friendly tech like VR tours and multilingual guides, the museum visit also underscored how China is leveraging soft power in the digital age. For young globetrotters and culture buffs, it’s a reminder that history isn’t just in textbooks—it’s alive in the deals and dialogues shaping tomorrow.
