URUMQI, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) — Young representatives from 10 SCO countries praised the dynamic development and technological achievements of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR, northwest China) at the 2025 SCO Youth Camp.
From November 9 to 11, 47 young people from Russia, India, Iran, and other SCO member states took part in a three-day youth exchange program. The event was aimed at strengthening mutual understanding and expanding cooperation among young people from the organization's member states.
Participants visited the Xinjiang Software Technology Park, where they learned about the latest innovations, including artificial intelligence systems for the real economy.
"It's really fun to play the board game Gomoku (five in a row) with a robot!" shared Khan-Temir Orozaliev from Kyrgyzstan, a young man who graduated from the Southwest University of Science and Technology in China. He now works in trade between the two countries. "I've been to Xinjiang several times, and my impressions only get better each time. It's not only a beautiful place, but also a region of great opportunity. Its proximity to my homeland and China's rapid technological development open up vast prospects for cooperation," he said.
After seeing an intelligent system capable of real-time multilingual translation at the Xinjiang branch of iFlytek Co., Ltd., Ruchika Sureka, co-founder of Indian company Cornerstone Technologies Ltd., commented, "Only by coming here can you understand how quickly everything is developing. In Xinjiang, you can experience a vibrant digital future."
At the Museum of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, participants were delighted to explore an exhibition dedicated to the cuisine, customs, and musical instruments of the region's ethnic groups.
"Xinjiang is incredibly fascinating. To truly appreciate its beauty, you have to come here in person—merely reading media coverage isn't enough," shared Darya Gaiduk from Belarus. "Even though our trip lasted only three days and we didn't have time to see other places, I've already developed a strong interest in the region. I hope to return in the future and explore it further."
The event also included a seminar on youth entrepreneurship, where participants discussed the opportunities and challenges for startups, as well as cooperation in this area within the SCO. Projects in areas such as the digital economy, engineering, ecology, and art were also presented.
The SCO Youth Camp, held since 2016, is a landmark project in the field of youth interaction within the organization. The theme of the 2025 camp is "Improving the digital skills of young people to create new drivers for SCO development."
