Tashkent, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) — The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin will be the culmination of China's presidency of the organization, Director of the SCO Public Diplomacy Center in Uzbekistan Kabuljon Sabirov said in a recent interview with Xinhua.

According to him, the summit is an important political event. This event will be the culmination of China's chairmanship of the organization, an important milestone for summing up the results of the Chinese side's chairmanship, as well as coordinating positions and making specific changes to the goals and objectives of the organization, taking into account modern realities.

As K. Sabirov noted, the scale of the summit shows that the SCO is indeed an authoritative international structure. “Today, the “Shanghai family” is a huge geography, a large population, colossal potential, as well as the constantly growing authority of the organization,” he noted.

The expert noted that the future of the organization will be largely determined at the summit, where it is planned to adopt a joint declaration, as well as a strategy designed for decades to come.

According to him, more than a dozen events were held during the year of China's chairmanship, and the events organized by the Chinese side were of high quality. They involved not only permanent members of the organization, but also observer countries and dialogue partners. This allowed the parties to gain rich experience and exchange views on a variety of issues.

“I sincerely hope that new proposals and initiatives within the framework of the summit will determine a new vector of development of the SCO not only in the near future, but also in the long term,” he concluded. –0–

Moscow, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) — Russia supports the initiative put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping to create a more effective system of global governance, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday during a speech at an expanded meeting of the SCO Plus in Tianjin.

According to Russian media, V. Putin noted in his speech that “Russia supports the initiative of Chairman Xi Jinping and is interested in beginning a concrete discussion of the proposals put forward by our Chinese friends.”

The Russian leader recalled that since its establishment in 2001, the SCO has been “actively involved in efforts to create an atmosphere of peace and security, trust and cooperation on the common Eurasian continent.” “In this regard, we have certainly listened attentively to everything that Mr. Xi Jinping has proposed to create a new, more effective and functional system of global governance,” he assured.

V. Putin emphasized that the proposals of the Chinese side are relevant in conditions where “some countries still do not abandon their desire for dictatorship in international affairs.”

“It seems that the SCO could take on a leading role in efforts to form a more just and equal system of global governance in the world, which would be based on the primacy of international law and the key provisions of the UN Charter, would be truly balanced and would take into account the interests of the widest possible range of countries, and would guarantee opportunities for their sustainable development and security,” the Russian leader noted. –0–

Zhang Zixuan, a scholar at the Institute of Military Culture of the PLA National Defense University, published an article in Huanqiu Shibao on August 22, noting that the parade in Beijing on September 3 attracted high attention from the international community precisely because it meets the general expectations of world peace.

The brutal war has brought deep misfortunes to human society. The Chinese people remember history and treasure the current peace even more. China's position is fully consistent with the international community's desire to distance itself from the fire of war and jointly build a peaceful life.

It cannot be ignored that China is an extremely rare great power in the history of human civilization that has achieved peaceful rise without external expansion. China is also the country that has sent the largest number of peacekeepers among the permanent members of the UN Security Council.

The parade will feature troops who have carried out peacekeeping missions. China's sense of responsibility in promoting global security and maintaining international peace is also the reason why the international community pays great attention to it.

With the support of Rosneft, a school for 800 students was opened in Gubkinsky – the largest educational institution in the city. The project was implemented as part of cooperation between PJSC NK Rosneft and the Government of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The agreement on financing the construction of the school was signed at the XXVII St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in 2024.

The project is aimed at supporting the education sector in the region, which corresponds to the tasks and national development goals defined by the President of Russia in his Address to the Federal Assembly. Rosneft actively supports initiatives aimed at creating favorable living conditions in the regions of its presence.

The new four-story school was built to replace the outdated building built in 1986. The infrastructure of the new educational institution allows for the organization of education in two shifts for up to 1,400 children.

The building with an area of over 18 thousand square meters includes two buildings connected by heated passages. The school has created conditions for studying natural sciences and IT technologies, equipped with scientific and technical laboratories and a modern library. An assembly hall, a museum, a canteen and sports halls with a training area have also been built. Recreation areas are provided in the atriums with natural light, and there is also a winter garden with an observation deck. On the school territory there are sports grounds with exercise machines, fields for mini-football, volleyball and basketball, recreation areas are equipped and landscaped.

For the convenience of schoolchildren and parents, there is a parking lot and a new bus stop near the school. In addition, the sports school swimming pool and the children's art school, which young Gubkin residents attend as part of additional education programs, are within walking distance. The educational center "Technical Creativity Station" will also continue to operate in the new school, where schoolchildren study robotics and aircraft modeling.

Thanks to Rosneft's support, most of the significant social facilities have been built in Gubkinsky: a city hospital, a children's library, music and art schools, residential complexes, as well as the Neftyanik Culture Palace and the Gubkinsky Arena Ice Palace.
