At the "SCO Plus" meeting in Tianjin, President Xi Jinping outlined a call to action for member states to safeguard global peace and stability. He introduced the Global Governance Initiative as a new framework for cooperation.
Key Proposals for Shared Security
- Treaty on Long-Term Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation: building trust and regional harmony.
- Principles of non-alliance, non-confrontation and not targeting any third party: ensuring an open, inclusive security landscape.
- SCO Universal Center for Countering Security Threats and Challenges: coordinating joint responses to terrorism, cyber risks and other emerging threats.
- SCO Anti-drug Centers: enhancing collaboration to disrupt cross-border narcotics networks.
President Xi emphasized that these measures will help forge a community of common security, where member states work side by side in a volatile world. By focusing on non-alignment and collaborative institutions, the SCO can remain a stabilizing force that transcends geopolitical divides.
For young global citizens and business leaders, this vision highlights the value of multilateral platforms in addressing shared challenges—from regional conflicts to digital and environmental risks. As cross-border connectivity deepens, the SCO’s approach could influence trends in trade, tech innovation and sustainable development.
President Xi’s speech serves as a reminder that, in an interconnected world, lasting stability depends on collective effort and shared responsibility.
