ZHENGZHOU, July 25 (Xinhua) — The "Zhengzhou Consensus" was released at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Media and Think Tank Summit in Zhengzhou on Friday.
The SCO Media and Think Tank Summit is being held in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province, central China, from July 23 to 27.
The event is attended by more than 400 representatives of almost 200 media outlets, think tanks, government bodies of SCO member states, observer states and dialogue partner countries, as well as international and regional organizations.
As noted in the Zhengzhou Consensus, the Summit featured a broad exchange of views on the theme of “Developing the Shanghai Spirit and Jointly Building a Beautiful Home,” and deeply explored ways to more effectively utilize the role of the media and think tanks to promote the strengthening of traditional friendship among SCO countries, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, and build a closer SCO community with a shared future.
The participants of the event noted that the SCO plays an important role in strengthening good-neighborliness, friendship, solidarity and mutual trust among the countries of the region, protecting regional security and stability, promoting prosperity and development in the region. The SCO media and think tanks should fully utilize their role as a bridge and link, jointly tell the stories of Shanghai cooperation, demonstrate the glorious achievements of Shanghai cooperation, and contribute wisdom and strength to promoting peace, stability, prosperity and development at both the regional and global levels.
It was noted that deepening political mutual trust and strengthening strategic alignment are extremely important for ensuring sustainable and long-term development of the SCO, as well as protecting national security and development interests of the countries in the region. The SCO media and analytical centers should step up explanations of national characteristics, development paths and strategies of the SCO member countries, promote strengthening communication between states, overcoming disagreements, developing consensus, strengthening mutual trust, respecting mutual development paths, protecting each other's fundamental interests and jointly building the SCO common home, the summit participants said.
According to the participants, ensuring regional security and stability is both a common responsibility of the SCO countries and an inevitable choice for jointly countering global challenges. In the context of a volatile and turbulent international situation and in response to the common aspirations of the peoples of all countries, the SCO media and think tanks should implement the Global Security Initiative, jointly popularize the SCO's position and actions to protect peace and tranquility, create a favorable atmosphere for building a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture and maintaining regional security and stability, as well as peace throughout the world, the participants noted.
According to them, achieving modernization is the common goal of all SCO countries. The SCO media and think tanks should implement the Global Development Initiative, jointly tell vivid stories of how the SCO countries promote economic integration, coordinated development and shared achievements, further strengthen the consensus on cooperation among all countries, strengthen the alignment of development strategies and regional cooperation initiatives, and create conditions for each country to prosper, develop and promote modernization.
It was pointed out that civilization becomes more colorful through exchanges and richer through mutual learning. The harmonious development of various civilizations is a beautiful vision of the people of the SCO countries. The SCO media and think tanks should implement the Global Civilization Initiative, jointly advocate respect for the diversity of civilizations, widely pool the wisdom and strength of multiple entities such as governments, enterprises, academic institutions and social organizations, so as to promote the inclusive coexistence of various civilizations and promote mutual understanding and closeness among the people of all countries.
The summit participants called for the protection of genuine multilateralism and the improvement of global governance, as it serves the common interests of all SCO members. The SCO media and think tanks should promote universal values, jointly disseminate the concept of global governance based on “joint consultation, joint construction and joint use”, make a loud epochal call for unity, cooperation and justice instead of division, confrontation and hegemony, and jointly promote the development of the international order in a more just and rational direction.
In addition, they also expressed the hope that this summit will help SCO media organizations and think tanks form a broad consensus, deepen practical cooperation in such areas as joint reporting, personnel training, academic exchanges and research, promote unity, cooperation, development and upliftment of the region, inject new energy into building a closer community with a shared future for the SCO, and promote the creation of a beautiful home of peace, stability, prosperity and beauty.
The SCO Media and Think Tank Summit is jointly organized by Xinhua, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Henan Provincial People's Government under the leadership of the State Council Information Office. –0–
