\u2014 On the Occasion of the SCO Summit and the V-Day Commemoration<\/span><\/p>\n

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People\u2019s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Today, multipolarization and economic globalization are accelerating, the Global South is rising, and multilateralism is becoming the trend of the times. Meanwhile, profound changes unseen in a century are fast evolving, global challenges are mounting, and the international order and rules are undermined. The world needs true multilateralism to safeguard peace and promote common development more than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), guided by the Shanghai Spirit of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations and the pursuit of common development, has become an important promoter of true multilateralism. Over the past 24 years, it has grown from six founding members to a family of 26 countries spanning Asia, Europe, and Africa, making important contributions to regional peace, stability, development, exchanges, and mutual learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since assuming the rotating presidency of the SCO in July last year, China has carried out over 100 activities under the theme \u201cUpholding the Shanghai Spirit: SCO on the Move\u201d and the focus of the \u201cYear of Sustainable Development\u201d, driving reforms and innovations in the Organization\u2019s decision-making mechanisms, cooperation models, and permanent institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Practical cooperation under the SCO framework has delivered fruitful results. The China-Kazakhstan Oil Pipeline, the China\u2013Central Asia Gas Pipeline, the China\u2013Tajikistan Highway, and the China\u2013Kyrgyzstan\u2013Uzbekistan International Highway and Railway are all examples of the growing connectivity between China and SCO countries, fueling trade growth across the SCO. In 2024, trade between China and SCO member states, observers, and dialogue partners hit a record high of USD 890 billion, injecting strong impetus into shared development of SCO countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

China will soon host the SCO Summit in Tianjin, where President Xi Jinping will be joined by President Khurelsukh and more than 20 other foreign leaders and heads of 10 international organizations. President Xi Jinping will elaborate on China\u2019s new thinking and proposals on carrying forward the Shanghai Spirit, fulfilling the SCO\u2019s mission, and meeting the aspirations of the people. He will also announce new measures and actions to support the SCO\u2019s high-quality development and comprehensive cooperation, and put forward new approaches to constructively upholding the post-WWII international order and improving the global governance system.<\/span><\/p>\n

The summit will yield a series of important and much-expected outcomes. President Xi Jinping and other leaders will jointly sign and release the <\/span>Tianjin Declaration<\/span><\/i>, adopt the <\/span>SCO Development Strategy for the Next Decade<\/span><\/i>, issue a statement on the 80th anniversaries of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations, and approve outcome documents on enhancing cooperation in security, economy, and people-to-people exchanges, charting the course for the SCO\u2019s future development.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eighty years ago, faced with the unprecedented ravage of fascism and militarism, peace-loving peoples across the world united in the anti-fascist front, ultimately defeating the aggressors and securing peace. As the main battle in the Eastern front, the Chinese People\u2019s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began the earliest, lasted the longest, and incurred the greatest sacrifices. Through 14 years of heroic struggle with over 35 million military and civilian casualties, the Chinese people made a decisive contribution to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. This was a great victory for China and for the world. On September 3, 26 foreign heads of state and government including President Khurelsukh will attend the commemorative event in Beijing, along with parliamentary leaders, deputy prime ministers, senior representatives, international organization leaders, former political leaders, and 50 friends or their families from 14 countries, spanning all five continents. Together, we will commemorate the history, pay tribute to all who contributed to the victory, and draw strength from that triumph to work towards a brighter future.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more turbulent the international landscape, the more resolute we must be in upholding the international system with the UN at its core, the international order underpinned by international law, and the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. China was the first country to sign the UN Charter. Over the past eight decades, from the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence to President Xi Jinping\u2019s vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the three major global initiatives, China has remained a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, a defender of the international order, and a provider of public goods, bringing Chinese solutions to the challenges concerning peace and development of humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Standing at this new historical juncture, China is ready to work with all countries to firmly uphold the post-war international order, safeguard fairness and justice, firmly practice true multilateralism, and build a community with a shared future for humanity, making unswerving efforts for lasting peace and sustainable development in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wish the two major events all the best, and the China-Mongolia and China-Mongolia-Russia leaders\u2019 summit every success.<\/span><\/p>\n
