This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

The SCO summit in Tianjin will be held consecutively with events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory, so it is causing great anticipation in the international community.

At the summit, President Xi Jinping will put forward new approaches for the SCO to constructively maintain the international order that emerged after World War II and improve the global governance system, and jointly with the leaders of other member states, issue a statement on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the UN.

"All SCO countries are at an important stage of accelerated development. The more unstable and changeable the international situation becomes, the more member states should strengthen unity and cooperation, and promote common development," said Li Ziguo, director of the Eurasian Studies Department at the China Institute of International Studies. At a key historical juncture, all parties expect the Tianjin Summit to bring "SCO strength" to uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and promote a multipolar world based on equality and order, as well as inclusive and fair economic globalization.

TIANJIN, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) — With the Tianjin Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) set to open soon, joint efforts are expected to make the organization more cohesive and effective, enabling it to make greater contributions to peace and development.

This year's summit is the largest since the SCO was established in 2001, demonstrating its international influence and appeal. China firmly believes that the two-day event will lead the SCO to a new stage of high-quality development featuring greater solidarity, closer cooperation, more dynamic vitality and higher efficiency, said Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Bin.

It is expected that following the summit, a declaration, a strategy for the development of the SCO for the next 10 years, as well as documents on strengthening cooperation in the areas of security, economics, culture and humanitarian exchanges will be adopted.

Over the past 24 years, the SCO has grown from its original six founding members to 26 countries: 10 member states, two observer states and 14 dialogue partners, accounting for about half the world's population and about a quarter of global GDP.

Political mutual trust among member states is deepening, cooperation in various fields is yielding fruitful results. Thanks to the functioning of cooperation mechanisms at various levels, the SCO has become more mature, strong and dynamic, which has turned it into an important and constructive force in regional and international affairs.

Security cooperation has always been a priority for the SCO, which has truly become an anchor of stability and an accelerator of development in the region. Significant progress has been made in cooperation in areas such as economy, trade, investment and connectivity. Trade turnover between China and other SCO member states, observer states and dialogue partners reached a record high of US$890 billion last year. In addition to traditional areas, cooperation in green energy and the digital economy is booming.

The main driver of the growth and dynamism of the SCO is the “Shanghai Spirit”, which is characterized by mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, mutual consultation, respect for cultural diversity, and the desire for joint development.

The “Shanghai Spirit” is the common value and the “root” and “soul” of the SCO, and it transcends such outdated concepts as the Cold War mentality and zero-sum game. To build a more effective and influential SCO, it is necessary to adhere to the “Shanghai Spirit” and improve its functioning mechanisms.

By emphasizing partnership and dialogue rather than bloc membership and confrontation, the SCO is a model for a new type of international relations.

In a volatile and turbulent international environment where power politics and regional conflicts persist, the SCO, as a key platform for uniting and cooperating countries in the Global South, is poised to play a positive role in promoting a more equal, orderly and multipolar world and building a fairer and more equitable system of global governance.

In recent years, the SCO has actively spread its voice on global governance issues. The Tianjin summit will issue a statement on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations, reflecting the SCO's efforts to safeguard the post-World War II international order and improve the global governance system.

China has consistently regarded the SCO as an important priority for its diplomatic work with neighboring countries and is committed to making the organization more meaningful and stronger and to building a closer SCO community with a shared future.

The Tianjin Summit is expected to enable the SCO to achieve greater consensus on all-round cooperation and take new, reliable measures to support its high-quality development, give more “SCO strength” to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and bring greater stability and positive energy to the world. -0-

TEHRAN, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday stressed the need for Iran and Armenia to remain vigilant against any foreign attempts to harm their "friendly and strategic" relations.

M. Pezeshkian made these remarks at a meeting in Tehran with the Secretary of the Armenian Security Council Armen Grigoryan. According to a statement published on the website of the presidential office, during the meeting the parties also discussed bilateral relations.

M. Pezeshkian expressed satisfaction with the results of his visit to Armenia earlier this month, calling it “successful and fruitful.”

He noted that the visit was characterized by “constructive talks and positive agreements” between senior officials of the two countries, stressing that the explanations and assurances of Armenian officials during the visit helped ease Iran’s concerns over recent developments in the Caucasus, especially regarding the presence of foreign troops in the “sensitive region” following the signing of the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan in early August.

“We must act in such a way that no foreign power can harm the friendly and strategic relations between the two countries,” said M. Pezeschkian.

He stressed the need to promote trade and expand joint investments between Iranian and Armenian enterprises in order to significantly increase the volume of bilateral transactions.

A. Grigoryan, in turn, stated that relations between Armenia and Iran are “strategic,” announcing Yerevan’s readiness to sign a document on comprehensive strategic cooperation with Tehran. He emphasized that the country is ready to raise bilateral economic deals to a level several times higher than the current one.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have been in conflict over the mountainous region of Nagorno-Karabakh since 1988. They signed a peace deal in Washington on August 8, ending a decades-long border dispute. It includes an agreement to create a transit corridor through southern Armenia, with the United States given exclusive rights to develop the project.

Iran has repeatedly expressed concern about the presence of extra-regional players in the region and warned against any attempts to change the geopolitical /situation/ in the region or its historical borders. –0–
