At the heart of the SCO Tianjin Summit on Monday, leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states signed off on 24 comprehensive outcome documents. Hosted in Tianjin, in the Chinese mainland, the summit brought together heads of state and government to chart the next steps in regional cooperation.
These 24 outcome documents span four key pillars:
- Security Cooperation: Joint strategies to combat transnational threats, boost intelligence sharing, and coordinate counter-terrorism drills.
- Economic Integration: Action plans to accelerate cross-border trade, modernize customs processes, and explore new corridors for digital commerce.
- Cultural Exchanges: Roadmaps for youth and academic exchanges, collaborative arts festivals, and heritage preservation projects to foster people-to-people ties.
- Organizational Building: Measures to strengthen the SCO secretariat, streamline decision-making, and enhance capacity for policy implementation.
With these documents in place, the SCO is poised to deepen ties across Eurasia, delivering real-world benefits—from faster trade routes to shared security frameworks and vibrant cultural linkages. As the summit wraps up, members signal a commitment to a more connected, resilient region.
