In just a few days, Tianjin will host the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit. With over 20 countries and 10 international organizations attending, this marks the largest gathering in the SCO's 24-year history. As the regional powerhouse forum expands, all eyes are on the key issues and challenges set to shape its future.
Agenda highlights include:
- Regional security and counterterrorism cooperation
- Economic corridors and trade connectivity
- Digital innovation and infrastructure development
- Sustainable development and public health collaboration
Yet the summit also faces hurdles:
- Diverse national priorities and strategic competition
- Balancing post-pandemic recovery with long-term growth
- Managing geopolitical tensions and maintaining unity
Central to this year’s talks is China’s vision of a “community with a shared future.” Observers will watch closely to see how this concept translates into concrete partnerships and projects across Eurasia. From new trade routes to digital Silk Road initiatives, the outcomes of Tianjin 2025 could set the blueprint for regional cooperation in the years ahead.
As leaders convene, the world will be watching to see how the SCO navigates its biggest summit yet—and whether it can inject fresh momentum into a region at the crossroads of global change.
