With these actions, China shows the world that it regards boosting the development of the SCO as one of its diplomatic priorities.
China sees the SCO as a platform to build a new type of international relations, one that features mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation. It is in sharp contrast to the Cold War mentality of confrontation and dominance.
The Shanghai Spirit of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and pursuit of common development, is the bedrock for a thriving SCO.
China advocates a community of shared future for humanity. It proposes the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits. These diplomatic visions have well served the development of the SCO.
In 2001, trade volume between China and other SCO members was merely 12.1 billion U.S. dollars. From 2013 to 2017, China imported a staggering total of 340 billion dollars worth of products from other member states. Direct investment by Chinese companies in these countries totalled 15 billion dollars.
Since its founding 17 years ago, the agendas of the SCO have expanded to encompass security, economic cooperation, people-to-people exchanges and other areas. The membership expansion last year adding India and Pakistan shows the SCO's growing strategic value and appeal.
In order to enhance cohesion and mutual trust between old and new members, China has sought consensus, facilitated dialogues and promoted the sound and steady development of the SCO, which accounts for nearly half of the world's population and over 20 percent of global GDP.
