China welcomed world leaders with ceremonial fanfare in Tianjin as the two-day Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit officially began on Sunday. The high-level gathering brings together more than 20 nations — including major powers such as Russia, India, China, Iran, — at a time of rising geopolitical tensions and a shifting global order.
This year’s SCO summit will review 25 years of the organisation’s achievements and also adopt a ten-year development strategy. China is hosting the SCO Summit for the fifth time, with President Xi Jinping chairing the proceedings.
Leaders from Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia will attend the summit in what China aims to portray as a powerful show of unity among the “Global South”, referring to developing and lower-income countries, mostly in the southern hemisphere.
The SCO comprises China, India, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Belarus, with 16 more countries affiliated as observers or “dialogue partners”.
