BEIJING, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from
People's Daily: From July 2 to 6,
Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the 24th Meeting of the
Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization
(SCO) in Astana, and pay state visits to Kazakhstan and Tajikistan at the invitation of President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev of the Republic of Kazakhstan and President Emomali Rahmon of the
Republic of Tajikistan.
Xi's visit this time will inject new momentum into building an
even closer SCO community with a shared future and opening a new
chapter of China-Kazakhstan, China-Tajikistan cooperation. It will also
contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to maintaining world peace
and promoting common development.
Since its founding over 20 years ago, the SCO has withstood the
test of the changing international landscape, and kept moving in
the right direction of promoting solidarity, mutual trust,
development and cooperation. It has set an example for building a
new type of international relations and regional cooperation.
The Shanghai Spirit of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality,
consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations and pursuit of
common development is the origin of the strong vitality of the SCO,
as well as a guideline that the organization must follow in the
long run.
The more fluid and turbulent the world is, the more important
that SCO member states stay committed to the Shanghai Spirit, keep
to the right direction, and safeguard common interests, respond to
various challenges and uphold fairness and justice more effectively
through making the SCO more substantive and stronger.
As a founding member, China
always sees the SCO as a priority in its diplomacy. Since 2013, Xi
has attended SCO summits for times and put forward a series of
important initiatives and proposals, outlining a blueprint for the
development and growth of the organization and charting the course
for building an SCO community with a shared future.
During the upcoming SCO summit in Astana, Xi will engage in
in-depth discussions with leaders of SCO member states on
strengthening solidarity and cooperation under new circumstances.
Together, they will consolidate the SCO's role in ensuring
security, establishing cooperation, forging friendship, and
cementing constructive force, to build an even closer SCO community
with a shared future, and inject more certainty and positive energy
into world peace and development.
Bound together by mountains and rivers and common interests,
China and Kazakhstan are good neighbors, good friends
and good partners. Thanks to the personal guidance and efforts of
leaders of the two countries, China had Kazakhstan forged a permanent comprehensive
strategic partnership and, on that basis, decided to build a
China-Kazakhstan community with a shared future,
which have set the bar even higher, opened up new prospects and
injected new impetus for bilateral relations.
The two countries' ever-lasting friendship, high-level mutual
trust, and commitment to sharing weal and woe together have come to
define their bilateral relations. Together, they have actively
advanced high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, achieving fruitful
results in various fields that benefit the two peoples.
The cooperation between China
and Kazakhstan has established a
model of complementary advantages and win-win outcomes in the
international community, injecting positive energy into the
building of a new type of international relations and a community
with a shared future for mankind.
Xi's visit to Kazakhstan this
time will further deepen political mutual trust, mutually
beneficial cooperation, and cultural exchanges between the two
countries, promoting the high-level development of bilateral
relations.
China-Tajikistan relations enjoy deep historical
roots, a solid political foundation, substantive cooperation and
extensive public support. Under the strategic guidance of Xi and
Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, China and Tajikistan established the comprehensive
strategic partnership in the spirit of good-neighborliness and
friendship. They agreed to, in line with the trend of the times,
build a community for security, a community of development between
China and Tajikistan, and, on that basis, a China-Tajikistan community with a shared future.
This is a vivid example of how neighbors can and should get along
by embracing mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.
The two sides have achieved fruitful results in practical
cooperation in various fields and have always firmly supported each
other on issues concerning their core interests. Tajikistan was one of the first countries to
support the Belt and Road Initiative and sign a Belt and Road
cooperation agreement with China.
China is ready to stand closely
with Tajikistan and work together
with it on the road to modernization, and create more benefits for
both countries and their people.
The global trend of peace, development and win-win cooperation
is unstoppable. The international community needs to conform to
this trend and make the right choice. China is willing to work with regional
countries to call for an equal and orderly multipolar world and a
universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, build
a community with a shared future for mankind and jointly create a
better future.
