Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Plus" meeting in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Tuesday, underscoring China's active role in regional and global governance. The "SCO Plus" format broadens the organization's traditional membership to include observer states, dialogue partners, and other invited guests, fostering a more inclusive dialogue on shared challenges. During the meeting, President Xi emphasized the importance of solidarity, mutual trust, and cooperation among nations to address pressing issues such as security, economic development, and cultural exchange. The SCO, founded in 2001, has grown into a significant regional bloc comprising China, Russia, and several Central Asian countries, with a focus on combating terrorism, separatism, and extremism. The Bishkek summit also served as a platform for leaders to discuss enhancing connectivity through initiatives like the Belt and Road, promoting sustainable development, and strengthening people-to-people ties. President Xi's participation reaffirmed China's commitment to multilateralism and its vision for a more interconnected and cooperative international community, aligning with the SCO's principles of mutual respect and equal partnership.
