China News Service, Dushanbe, October 20 (Reporter Shan Lu) On October 20, Chinese Premier Li Qiang attended the 25th meeting of the Council of Heads of Government (Prime Ministers) of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states in Dushanbe. Leaders and representatives of SCO member states, guests from the host country and heads of relevant international organizations attended the meeting. Tajik Prime Minister Rasulzoda chaired the meeting.
Li Qiang said that this year marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the SCO. The Bishkek Summit in September achieved a series of important results, adding new impetus to promoting peace and development. At the same time, the world's unstable and uncertain factors are still increasing. President Xi Jinping pointed out at the summit that standing at the crossroads concerning the future and destiny of mankind, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization should bravely shoulder its historical responsibilities and actively lead the course of history. This not only requires us to better gather consensus at the "Tao" level such as vision, philosophy, and thinking, but also requires better action at the "technical" level such as operation and operation.
From the "Tao" level, we should have a clear understanding of some basic issues. You must have an insight into the general trend. At present, various ideological trends are colliding in the world, but the multi-polarity of the world and economic globalization are the general trends. We must have a world-wide mind. The SCO should continue to carry forward the "Shanghai Spirit", not only commit to regional stability and prosperity, but also contribute to the common development of the world. You must have the perseverance to go far. The SCO countries share the common desire to jointly promote friendship, jointly ensure security, and jointly seek development. They need to maintain determination, close unity, and move forward courageously.
From a "technical" level, we should strengthen collaboration and be pragmatic and innovative. China is willing to work with all member states to improve the operational efficiency of the organization, implement and strengthen cooperation projects, play a demonstration and leading role, promote the SCO to achieve higher quality development, implement the four major global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping, and build a community with a shared future for mankind. China is willing to strengthen coordination with all parties to complete the establishment of the "Four Security Centers" as soon as possible, and is willing to sponsor 1,000 medical personnel from SCO countries to study in China to continue to improve the well-being of the people in the region.
Li Qiang pointed out that in recent years, the international community has increasingly called for strengthening multilateralism and reforming and improving global governance. The SCO should strive to unite more international partners and demonstrate positive actions at the global level. It is very important to pay more attention to seeking common ground while reserving differences and gathering common ground to resolve differences. It is necessary to strengthen economic and trade cooperation despite differences in endowments, promote regional economic integration, create a stable and resilient international transportation channel system, and maintain the stability and smoothness of the global production and supply chain. We should seek common interests despite differences in demands and work together to safeguard world peace and stability. We must promote harmony and symbiosis amidst cultural differences.
All parties participating in the meeting stated that the SCO has continued to grow and develop since its establishment 25 years ago, and its international influence is increasing day by day. All parties should actively implement the outcomes of the Tianjin Summit and the Bishkek Summit, further promote the "Shanghai Spirit", strengthen communication and collaboration, promote high-quality development of the SCO, and make greater contributions to regional and world peace and development.
After the meeting, Li Qiang signed and issued a joint communique with the participating leaders of the member states, and approved cooperation documents in trade, investment, industry, connectivity and other fields as well as resolutions related to the construction of the SCO.
