On Sunday, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov touched down in Tianjin, the northern Chinese mainland port city, marking the start of his journey to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit 2025. Scheduled for August 31 to September 1, the gathering will bring together leaders from across Eurasia to address shared challenges and future collaborations.
Founded in 2001, the SCO has grown into a platform for security, economic and cultural cooperation among its member states. This year’s summit is expected to feature high-level discussions on regional stability, cross-border connectivity and emerging tech trends that resonate with young entrepreneurs and digital nomads alike.
For Kyrgyzstan, President Japarov’s visit offers a chance to advance strategic priorities—from enhancing trade corridors to boosting energy partnerships. Bilateral talks and side events will provide space for dialogue on sustainable infrastructure and smart-city solutions, reflecting the summit’s focus on inclusive growth.
Key priorities at SCO 2025 include:
- Regional security and counterterrorism
- Sustainable infrastructure and connectivity
- Digital economy and tech innovation

As delegates converge in Tianjin, young global citizens, business leaders and changemakers will be watching closely. The outcomes could shape not only Central Asia’s future but also broader efforts to foster stability, innovation and cross-cultural exchange in an interconnected world.
