The 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit, held Sunday and Monday in the northern Chinese port city of Tianjin, has yielded eight major outcomes, including the formulation of a 10-year SCO development strategy, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday.
The largest-ever SCO summit since its establishment in 2001 was attended by leaders of more than 20 countries and heads of 10 international organizations.
At a press conference held in Beijing, Guo said since SCO's establishment 24 years ago, the member states have upheld the Shanghai Spirit, namely mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations, and pursuit of common development, and shared opportunities and pursued common development. They have brought about groundbreaking and historic achievements, and set up a stellar example of a new type of international relations.
"The SCO has grown into a big family of 27 countries, covering Asia, Europe and Africa, with nearly half of the global population and a quarter of global economic output. The SCO has become the largest regional cooperation organization that covers the biggest population and area with the greatest development potential," Guo said.
He noted that the Tianjin Summit is the largest-ever SCO summit. It planned for high-quality development, charted the course for humanity's progress, and produced the most fruitful outcomes.
"Eight major outcomes have been achieved in Tianjin Summit. The development strategy of the SCO within the next decade has been formulated. The summit has sent out a just voice of defending the victorious outcome of World War II, made clear the just position in support of the multilateral trading system, launched four security centers, made a political decision to establish an SCO development bank, set up six platforms on practical cooperation, made six action plans for high-quality development, and achieved new breakthroughs in the organization's reform," said Guo.
"The successful Tianjin Summit will lead the SCO into a new stage of high-quality development featuring stronger solidarity, coordination, dynamism and productiveness, and will definitely become an important milestone in the history of the organization," he said.
