TIANJIN, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) — A dove of peace takes off from the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, flies over Qingdao and Beijing, and then over Belarus, India, Kazakhstan and other countries, as footage is shown at the press center of the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit being held in north China's Tianjin on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
So far, about 3,000 journalists have registered to cover the Tianjin summit, witnessing key moments of the largest summit in the organization's history.
Sherkhan Zhambyluly from Kazakhstan believes that the SCO plays an important role in maintaining regional security and stability, promoting joint prosperity and development of the organization’s countries in the context of a changing international situation.
He added that China and Kazakhstan, which are among the founding states of the SCO, cooperate with each other in almost all areas, among which trade and economic relations between the two countries are developing most dynamically.
“The entire concept of the ‘Shanghai Spirit’ is aimed at the common development and mutually beneficial cooperation of the SCO countries,” he noted, adding that the summit provides a platform for discussing current issues on the international agenda and finding solutions, which helps the further development of not only the countries of the organization, but the entire world.
For Evgeny Pavlov, who is a correspondent for MIA “Russia Today” in Beijing, this is already his third trip to Tianjin, which, in his opinion, is “a very interesting, nice and calm city.”
According to him, this SCO summit also reflects the interests of the countries of the Global South. “Through platforms such as the SCO and BRICS, many countries are trying to convey their voice.”
In the 24 years since the SCO was established in 2001, the membership of the organization has grown from the original six founding members to 26 countries. In today's world, the SCO's influence continues to grow, and with it, the organization's appeal and attractiveness in the international arena.
The SCO remains open to all countries interested in its principles and cooperation within the organization, as evidenced by the fact that journalists from both SCO countries and other countries of the world are taking part in covering the summit.
Mikhail Tarakhchev from the Georgian company FORYOU Multimedia has visited China many times before, but this was his first time in Tianjin for the summit. “Despite the fact that Georgia is not an SCO country, we had the opportunity to attend this summit. And I think that very interesting events await us here.”
"The SCO offers formats of cooperation not only with its member states. It will be very interesting to hear an assessment of the period passed and plans for the future development of this organization," he said.
As part of the summit, journalists from various countries including Belarus, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkmenistan visited Tianjin Port, which is an important foreign trade and international hub port in northern China.
The zero-carbon smart terminal is equipped with unmanned equipment to handle the loading, unloading and handling of cargo. On the same day, two large container ships, nearly 400 meters long and with a capacity of 24,000 containers, docked at the terminal, leaving a deep impression on visitors.
“I am very interested in how these machines work thanks to artificial intelligence without operators and how they were built,” said Muhammet Soltanmyradov from Turkmenistan, who came to China for the first time to cover the SCO summit.
M. Tarakhchev was also very impressed by this high-tech port. “I will be interested to learn about it in detail. China is one of the leaders in this industry and I think our readers and viewers will be very interested to see all this with their own eyes.” -0-
