Interpretation of CCTV
A series of speeches by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader not only judged the general trend of the world and the trend of the times, but also made suggestions for the development of the SCO, and actually put forward China’s plan for international hot issues.
Climbing high and looking far: the supreme leader first puts forward the "five views" of joint development
The world today is in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment. In order to avoid being confused by appearances, President Xi emphasized that we must climb high and look far in order to correctly grasp the general trend of the world and the trend of the times. China emphasizes that the theme of peaceful development remains unchanged and the international order is developing in a more just and rational direction. At the same time, China is soberly aware that there are complex challenges in politics, economy, security, culture and many other fields, and building a community of human destiny has a long way to go.
"Shanghai Spirit" is the core concept of SCO development. At the same time of "Do not forget your initiative mind", we should give the "Shanghai Spirit" updated connotation of the times. President Xi delivered a speech at the large-scale talks of Shanghai-Shanghai Qingdao Summit.This paper comprehensively expounds the development of Shanghai Cooperation from the perspectives of development concept, security concept, cooperation concept, civilization concept and global governance concept.
The development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing is an important part of China’s 13th Five-Year Plan. The SCO cannot solve the development problems and narrow the development gap without the guidance of this development concept.
The concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security is an important idea put forward by President Xi in 2014, which has become the basis of SCO’s security cooperation.
The cooperation concept of openness, accommodation, mutual benefit and win-win is the magic weapon for Shanghai Cooperation to cope with the countercurrent of economic globalization and oppose trade protectionism.
The concept of civilization of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and tolerance is the concrete embodiment of implementing the goal of "Shanghai Spirit" and respecting diverse civilizations.
Adhering to the global governance concept of discussing, building and sharing has strengthened the contribution of Shanghe development to the building of a community of human destiny.
Qingdao is a world-famous "sailing capital", from which many ships set sail and pursued their dreams. Qingdao Summit became the starting point for the SCO to set sail again.
Qingdao Summit affirmed the new development of the organization after India and Pakistan joined.The expansion shows the attraction of the SCO’s concept, spirit and achievements.. The addition of new members also adds impetus to the development of the organization. However, the expansion of membership has also increased the complexity of establishing and developing mutual trust among member States. SCO members still need to abide by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, uphold the "Shanghai Spirit" and consolidate unity and cooperation, so that the positive effects of membership expansion can be better brought into play.
In his speech to reporters with the leaders of SCO member States, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader summed up the results of the summit with "six consensuses", which shows that all member States have found the greatest common denominator of cooperation on the road of pursuing peaceful development and provided a "model" and useful reference for the cooperation of other organizations in the world.
Expand international exchanges and cooperation beyond security, economy and humanities.
While promoting the development of the three "wheels" of SCO member States’ security, economy and humanities cooperation, Qingdao Summit regards expanding international exchanges and cooperation as the fourth "wheel" of organizational development.. Representatives of international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank attended the Qingdao Summit, which not only reflected the increasing influence and attraction of the SCO, but also once again demonstrated the sincerity of organizing open cooperation.
China made outstanding contributions to the development of the organization during his tenure as the chairman of Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In the future, the SCO’s stability and far-reaching development will still depend on China’s wisdom and China’s plan.
