China is willing to work with other members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) to hold a friendly, united and fruitful summit in north China's Tianjin Municipality, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun at a regular briefing in Beijing on Thursday.
Guo briefed the media on preparations for the SCO Tianjin summit, which is scheduled to take place this autumn.
"Since China took over the SCO rotating chairmanship in July last year, China has acted on the slogan 'Upholding the Shanghai Spirit: SCO on the Move,' made solid progress as the SCO chair, and achieved positive progress and outcomes. China has hosted over 100 events as the SCO chair, and nearly half are institutional events, covering multiple areas such as politics, security, military, economy and trade, investment, energy, education, connectivity, technological innovation, green industry, digital economy and people-to-people exchanges. These events help SCO countries increase solidarity and mutual trust, enhanced mutual learning and achieved mutually beneficial and win-win results," said Guo.
"One month later, the SCO Summit will be held in Tianjin. Leaders of over 20 countries and heads of 10 international organizations will gather together for the summit. This will be the largest summit since the establishment of the SCO, and the culmination of China's work as the SCO chair. The SCO Foreign Ministers' Meeting held not long ago has made full political preparations for this Summit. China will work with all member states to complete the preparations in the final phase, accumulate positive outcomes in areas such as security, development, livelihood and mechanisms, so as to hold a friendly and united summit with fruitful results. The Summit will guide the SCO to enter a new stage of high-quality development featuring more solidarity, coordination, vitality and contribution, and build a closer SCO community with a shared future," he said.
