Shanghai Cooperation Organization
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was established on June 15, 2001. Its founding members were China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. By July, 2023, the number of SCO member states has increased from 6 to 9. The Council of Heads of State is the supreme body of the SCO. It holds a regular meeting every year hosted by the rotating presidency to make decisions and instructions on major issues within the organization.
The SCO is the epitome of harmonious coexistence of countries with different political systems and cultures. Over the past 20 years since its establishment, it has always followed the "Shanghai spirit" of "mutual trust, mutual benefits, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and pursuit of common development" and stayed committed to the cause of world peace and development and human progress. It has blazed a path of cooperation and development that conforms to regional realities and the needs of all parties and made important theoretical and practical explorations on building a new type of international relations and a global community of shared future.
