Under the motto "Promoting the Shanghai Spirit: SCO in Action", the 25th anniversary SCO summit was held in Tianjin from August 31 to September 1. More than twenty heads of state and ten leaders of international organizations gathered here to outline the contours of the future world order. Under the leadership of PRC Chairman Xi Jinping, at the meeting of the Council of Heads of SCO Member States and the "SCO" format, the participants delivered policy speeches that determined the vector of the organization's further development.

In an era of global challenges that require consolidation of efforts, Tianjin has become a platform for the formation of a new harmony in international relations. The SCO summit is not just a protocol meeting of leaders, but a catalyst in which the "Shanghai Spirit" is organically intertwined with the "Tianjin Declaration", forming the foundation of tomorrow's global governance.

Founded in 2001 in response to the changing geopolitical and economic realities of Eurasia, the SCO has demonstrated an impressive evolution: from the philosophical concept of the “Shanghai Spirit” to specific, actionable agreements such as the “Tianjin Declaration.” This is clear evidence of the unwavering commitment of member countries to activating multilateral global governance, finding adequate responses to the challenges of the 21st century, and strengthening relevant mechanisms.

In the context of growing geopolitical turbulence, the SCO offers the world an alternative approach to global governance based on the immutable principles of multilateralism, mutual respect and indivisible security. The organization consistently strives to create a space permeated with an atmosphere of trust and fruitful cooperation, where differences in political systems and ideological doctrines do not become an insurmountable obstacle to achieving common goals.

The "Shanghai Spirit", which embodies multifaceted cooperation, trust and mutual benefit, became the fertile ground on which the SCO grew and strengthened. At the dawn of its existence, the organization focused its efforts on ensuring security and combating the global threats of terrorism, extremism and separatism. Emphasizing the exceptional importance of constructive interaction and open dialogue between states, the SCO made an invaluable contribution to the formation and development of multilateral global governance.

The Tianjin Declaration is not just another document, it is a major strategic step that determines the future of the SCO and the multipolar world, providing a powerful platform for deepening economic cooperation and implementing large-scale joint projects in the field of infrastructure development, expanding trade and introducing advanced technologies.

The Shanghai Spirit and the Tianjin Declaration clearly demonstrate the impressive evolution of the SCO’s approaches to multilateral global governance. By consistently applying the principles of cooperation, constructive dialogue and mutually beneficial relations, the SCO makes a significant contribution to the creation of a secure and stable world, relying on multilateral mechanisms and principles relevant to today’s complex global political dynamics. The Organization formulates a strategic vision for the sustainable development of its members and builds a model of international relations based on mutual respect, comprehensive cooperation and joint efforts in the global arena.

The SCO is steadily strengthening its position as an influential and authoritative international organization, ready to play a key role in shaping the future world order. The organization is open to further expansion of fruitful cooperation with all states and international organizations that share its principles and values. In an era of global change, the SCO offers the world a path to a more just, sustainable and secure future based on the immutable principles of multilateralism and mutual respect.

In today's geopolitics, where multipolarity demands unity and dialogue, the SCO is becoming a key player. Its beating heart is the "Shanghai Spirit", embodying respect, equality and trust.

The SCO demonstrates unwavering readiness to adapt and innovate in a rapidly changing world. The Tianjin Declaration is a clear roadmap aimed at strengthening regional security and ensuring economic prosperity, based on the unshakable principles of the Shanghai Spirit. The organization consistently advocates for peaceful resolution of conflicts and unconditional respect for international law, offering the world a reasonable and effective alternative to unilateral approaches and forceful pressure.

The implementation of the Tianjin Declaration will require close coordination and intense joint efforts from the SCO member states. It is vital to ensure effective interaction between government bodies, business circles and civil society structures. The SCO can become a unique platform for open and constructive dialogue aimed at finding common solutions and strengthening mutual trust.

The Tianjin Declaration represents an important step towards building a more just and sustainable world order. Based on the time-tested principles of the Shanghai Spirit and taking into account new challenges and threats, the SCO demonstrates its firm readiness to play an active role in addressing global issues and ensuring regional stability. The Organization offers a reasonable path to cooperation and mutual understanding based on respect for the sovereignty and national interests of all states.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mr. Baghaei told Xinhua in Tehran in a recent interview that the SCO is an international organization with global influence and scope for action, which plays an important role in preserving multilateralism.

Iranian President Pezeshkian is attending the SCO summit in Tianjin and events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. According to Baghaei, Iran hopes that President Pezeshkian's visit will deepen bilateral relations with China and strengthen interaction with other leaders during multilateral events at the SCO summit in Tianjin.

He stated that the SCO is an international organization with global influence, which cares for the interests of the countries of the Global South and plays an important role in international relations. The world today faces such common challenges as unilateralism, and Western countries, including the United States, are taking unilateral coercive measures against developing countries, which poses a threat to international law and the authority of the UN Charter. The SCO firmly upholds the position of multilateralism and plays an active role in preserving international justice and protecting the interests of developing countries.

Speaking about cooperation in areas such as counter-terrorism, Bagai said terrorism is a common threat to all countries and counter-terrorism is an important basis for cooperation within the SCO. Countries should expand cooperation in areas such as information exchange, coordination of law enforcement and judicial bodies.

Bagai said Iran attaches great importance to developing relations with China. The potential for cooperation between Iran and China is enormous and the prospects are bright. Under the leadership of the leaders of the two countries, the two sides continue to advance and deepen bilateral relations, enhancing mutual understanding and trust. Iran and China share a common history of culture and civilization. Iran is an important region on the ancient Silk Road, and today the two sides can still use this historical heritage to develop relations.

Bagais is optimistic about the future cooperation between Iran and China. He said that the two sides have signed cooperation agreements in areas such as trade, economy, energy, agriculture and tourism, and a comprehensive cooperation plan between Iran and China is under implementation. “Our cooperation is going well and is constantly strengthening,” he said.

In March 2022, a measure to support entrepreneurs was introduced in Moscow, within the framework of which investors can lease land plots at a preferential rate of only one ruble per year. Such a benefit is provided within the framework of the implementation of large-scale investment projects (MaIP). During this time, the city has concluded 17 lease agreements for plots of land for the construction of construction industry enterprises. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

"Since 2022, the city has provided investors with land plots with a total area of about 92 hectares at a preferential rate of one ruble per year for the construction of enterprises that will specialize in the production of construction and finishing materials. The total area of the facilities will be approximately 700 thousand square meters. The volume of private investment will be about 32 billion rubles. The implementation of these MAIPs will contribute to the development of the urban development industry and provide it with modern domestic products," said Vladimir Efimov.

Large-scale investment projects have been implemented in the capital since 2016. They have become one of the key instruments for the development of the city's economy.

"On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, modern industrial complexes are being built in the capital, which ensure economic growth and create new jobs for residents. More than 5.5 thousand new jobs will be created at construction industry enterprises built as part of large-scale investment projects. The complexes will produce architectural concrete, ceramic products, aerated concrete blocks, prefabricated reinforced concrete structures and other products, which will significantly increase the volume of production of building materials and strengthen the industrial base of the city," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

Land plots were allocated in the northwest and southeast of the capital, as well as in Zelenograd and TiNAO. The preferential rental rate applies to the entire term of the contracts. Thus, the enterprises will quickly establish the production of products important for Moscow.

Ekaterina Solovieva, the Minister of the Moscow Government, the head of the Department of City Property, emphasized that in the Krasnopakhorsky District, as part of the implementation of large-scale investment projects, it is planned to create a cluster for the production of building materials. The city has already allocated more than 30 hectares of land for the implementation of two MAIPs. A plot of land with an area of over four hectares has been provided for the construction of an enterprise for the production of reinforced concrete structures for stairwells, openings, balconies, facades and load-bearing walls of buildings. On the territory of 26.54 hectares, it is planned to establish the production of building structures, modular structures, metal products and wooden flooring.

In the south-east of the capital, in the Vykhino-Zhulebino district, a plot of land of almost 0.32 hectares was provided to an investor for the construction of a production complex for the manufacture of doors, windows and other products made of wood and plastic. In the same district, the investor will build a production facility for tile modules made of wood. For this purpose, the city allocated 0.7 hectares of land to the investor at a preferential rental rate.

Land plots of 17 hectares have been provided to the investor in the Eastern communal zone of Zelenograd. The company will build a modern industrial complex with a total area of 80 thousand square meters. Several modern production facilities will appear there at once – enterprises for the production of doors, aerated concrete blocks and ready-made modules.

The city also provided 1.45 hectares of land in the Voronovo district for the construction of an enterprise for the development, testing and pilot production of building materials. Its area will be about 12 thousand square meters.

Young Muscovites to Choose a Name for a Baby Alpaca from the City Farm at VDNKh

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On the platform "Active Citizen for Children" opened survey, in which young residents of the capital will choose a name for an alpaca born at the VDNKh “City Farm” on August 3.

The baby was born in the morning. Her mother's name is Dosya, and her father's name is Berberis. The newborn slept almost all the time during the first day, but her mother woke her up to feed her. Now they have adapted to the new conditions and feel great. The cub is actively gaining weight, which is already more than 10 kilograms. The girl's character is different from her sisters Shokoladka and Chernichka. She is more like her father Berberis – just as thoughtful and dreamy.

The baby walks with her mother almost every day. More often in the morning, before opening, or in the first hour after the farm starts working, so that no one disturbs the little alpaca. It happens that she can show up during the day. However, you can see the baby at any time: she is in the enclosure – in the barn, which is located in the public domain.

The baby's color is black, but it may change a little as the alpaca grows up. For about six months, it will feed on milk, and later it will switch to an adult animal's diet (hay, vegetables, grass, special muesli).

Alpacas usually live in the Andes at an altitude of three and a half to five thousand meters, inhabiting the territories of Ecuador, the southern regions of Peru, northern Chile and western Bolivia. The history of alpaca domestication began about six thousand years ago, when ancient Peruvians first tamed these animals and began breeding them. Guests of VDNKh have the opportunity to see, photograph, pet and feed alpacas in Moscow.

Young Muscovites are offered a choice of six names for alpaca: Lada, Bardo, Nochka, Sumac, Inti and Korichka. Residents of the capital aged six to 14 can take part in the survey. To do this, you need a standard account on the mos.ru portal or authorization on platform "Moscow Electronic School".

For participating in the survey, children will be awarded children's points for the city's loyalty program "A Million Prizes", using which you can get gifts: a school backpack, board games, ice cream molds, certificates to stores and cafes and much more.

The City Farm family park of interactive farming and crafts opened at VDNKh in 2015 and celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. Each guest has the opportunity to stroll through the interactive zoo and attend master classes in equipped rooms and a picturesque greenhouse — classes are included in the price of the entrance ticket. The City Farm seasonal programs delight with their diversity: quests and teambuilding in the summer, New Year's performances in the winter. You can admire the new resident, as well as other inhabitants of the City Farm — rabbits, a donkey, raccoons, reindeer, zebu and goats — on weekdays from 10:30 to 20:00, and on weekends and holidays — from 10:30 to 21:00.

"Active Citizen for Children"— is an online platform created specifically for young Muscovites. On it, kids can make important decisions for the city by participating in surveys. They will also find quizzes, games, comics and videos that introduce Moscow, tell about its history, development and projects for children, as well as how residents help the capital become better.

The Active Citizen for Children platform is being developed by the State Institution New Management Technologies together withDepartment of Information Technology of the City of Moscow.

The creation, development and operation of the e-government infrastructure, including the provision of mass socially significant services, as well as other services in electronic form, correspond to the objectives of the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State" and the Moscow regional project "Digital Public Administration".

A thermal complex is planned to be built at VDNKh. Its construction is one of the promising areas of development of the country's main exhibition. The year-round family spa complex, designed for visitors of different ages, will become a popular place among supporters of a healthy lifestyle.

It is planned to create a modern recreation and health zone in the metropolis in the coming years. The thermal complex will be located in the southern part of VDNKh, not far from the Khovansky entrance, next to a multi-level parking lot and a picturesque forest park area. Investors will be attracted to implement the idea of creating a thermal complex; businesses still have the opportunity to take part in this unique and promising project. It involves creating an oasis of tranquility within the city, where guests can relax and unwind in thermal pools and baths, recuperate thanks to massage treatments and a variety of spa services. To create the conditions of a thermal resort, it is planned to use natural resources from different parts of Russia – mineral waters, mud, salts, medicinal plants and essential oils.

The complex will be oriented towards all categories of visitors: safe play areas, mini water playgrounds will be arranged for children, and places for health procedures, fitness classes and recreation will be arranged for adults. This format will allow each family member to find something interesting and useful during a visit, as well as spend time together in a comfortable and safe environment.

The territory of VDNKh contains numerous architectural monuments, natural areas, museums, cafes and restaurants, and cultural and educational events are constantly held. The new thermal complex will become another place where you can spend your leisure time. It will complement the existing diverse infrastructure, making VDNKh an even more attractive venue for family recreation and an active lifestyle.

The creation of a comfortable environment at VDNKh, a garden city within a metropolis, is the most important part of the strategy for promoting the capital's hospitality industry and the VDNKh development strategy until 2030.
