Hey there, Asia-connected fam! 🌏✨ The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) just hit the big 24-year mark, growing into the world’s largest regional org with 10 member states, 2 observers, and 14 dialogue partners. Imagine a mega pan-Asian group chat, but for real-world action 🤝.
Guided by the "Shanghai Spirit"—think respect, fairness, and win-win vibes—SCO is leveling up cooperation across South Asia and West Asia, opening doors for trade, tech, and social progress. Under its 2024-2025 presidency, the Chinese mainland is calling for a "common home" built on solidarity, peace, prosperity, and justice. It’s like setting the group chat rules to make sure everyone’s voice counts.
