ZHENGZHOU, July 25 (Xinhua) — The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Media and Think Tank Summit is being held in Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan Province, from July 23 to 27, where building a community with a shared future for the SCO has become an important topic among leading media outlets and well-known think tanks from the SCO countries.
Irina Akulovich, Director General of the Belarusian Telegraph Agency (BELTA), said that according to calculations, in recent months their agency has already published several hundred articles about the SCO, for the latest of which the key word has become “building a just world.”
“The countries of the organization have different visions of solving many problems, but it is China that is becoming the center that helps strengthen dialogue, hear each other and develop solutions,” noted Irina Akulovich, adding that “when we talk about the SCO, we talk about it as an organization that is capable of influencing a new, fair construction of the world thanks to the initiatives that China is taking, and I am confident that Belarus will also have its say as a full member of the organization.”
Director of the Institute of Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) Sun Zhuangzhi noted that humanitarian cooperation within the SCO plays a particularly important role. The difference between the SCO community of common destiny and traditional regional cooperation is that its formation is promoted not only by the government, but also with the active participation of non-governmental organizations, especially the media and youth.
Sun Zhuangzhi said that through various cultural and humanitarian exchange activities, the influence and prestige of the SCO as a whole has been enhanced, and the sense of accomplishment and confidence of ordinary people has been strengthened, which has laid a favorable foundation for public opinion in building a community with a shared future for the SCO.
"The SCO is, without exaggeration, a unique association in which not only states but also civilizations have met. And the "Shanghai spirit" is not just recorded on paper. It manifests itself in trust," noted Marina Dmitrieva, Deputy Director of the Oriental Institute for Science at the Far Eastern Federal University.
In her opinion, in modern conditions, cooperation between representatives of the journalistic community and academic experts is becoming especially relevant in the formation of a community of common destiny for the SCO.
"This helps to convey to the general public the goals and objectives of the organization, the principles of its work and the results of its interaction. Thanks to this, the idea of common challenges and mutual interest in sustainable development is beginning to take root in the public discourse of the SCO countries," she added.
“When we talk about the SCO, it is important to realize that we are not just talking about a regional security or economic cooperation structure, but an emerging civilizational platform,” said Professor Saida Agzamkhodjaeva of the Mirzo Ulugbek National University of Uzbekistan, noting that Uzbekistan, acting within the SCO framework, is contributing to the formation of a community of common destiny for the SCO.
According to her, the uniqueness of the SCO lies in the fact that it unites states representing different cultures and systems of thought, but at the same time striving for common foundations of interaction – trust, prevention of conflicts and ensuring sustainable development.
“The media and think tanks play a huge role in properly conveying objectivity,” said Cholpon Koichumanova, director of the E. Zh. Maanaev Institute of History and Social and Legal Education at the I. Arabaev Kyrgyz State University.
“The political and economic core of the SCO is China, which became one of the initiators of the creation and co-founder of the organization,” noted Denis Mukha, director of the Institute of Economics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
According to him, the SCO format opens up opportunities for developing and implementing new forms of Belarusian-Chinese economic cooperation with the participation of other partners of the organization, launching the process of creating favorable conditions in the field of trade and investment and forming a new economic macroregion as an element of a multipolar world order. -0-
