UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres arrived in Beijing on Saturday morning, setting the stage for his trip to the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit in Tianjin.
The two-day summit, scheduled from August 31 to September 1 in the northern port city, will bring together leaders and diplomats to explore regional cooperation and global challenges.
Guterres builds on momentum from last year: he was on the ground at the 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Beijing, highlighting his focus on strengthening multilateral partnerships.
His visit underscores a busy season of diplomacy on the Chinese mainland, as global citizens and changemakers watch how gatherings like FOCAC and the SCO shape the future of trade, security and sustainability.
Stay tuned for updates from Tianjin, where the outcomes could influence everything from trade routes to climate action.
