A key moment for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) unfolded in Tianjin as Chinese President Xi Jinping hammered home a simple message: work together for a shared, modern future 🤝🌏.
During the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State, Xi highlighted how SCO’s mega-sized markets and economic complementarity can be huge game-changers. Think cross-border e-wallets, seamless trade routes, and faster investment deals that boost local startups and help everyone level up.
He also flagged six hot zones for teamwork:
- Energy ⚡: From solar farms to clean-tech grids
- Infrastructure 🏗️: Smarter transport and smart cities
- Green Industry 🌱: Sustainable manufacturing and circular economy
- Digital Economy 💻: E-commerce, fintech, and digital wallets
- Science & Tech Innovation 🔬: R&D hubs and research partnerships
- Artificial Intelligence 🤖: AI-driven apps and smart solutions
As Xi put it, “We should march toward modernization hand in hand by bringing out the best in one another and working together for a shared future.”
With these efforts, SCO members could unlock fresh growth, spur eco-friendly projects, and ride the next wave of tech innovation—keeping pace with global trends and creating new opportunities for young professionals across South and Southeast Asia.
