President Xi Jinping attended the 23rd meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization by video in Beijing on the afternoon of July 4 and delivered the title ''Keep in mind the original mission, adhere to unity and cooperation to achieve greater development "Important speech.
Over the past 10 years, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind has been widely recognized and supported by the international community, and is being transformed from a concept into action and from a vision into reality. In this process, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has been at the forefront of the times, adhering to the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, promoting the "Shanghai Spirit", and building a community with a shared future for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. We uphold the fine tradition of mutual assistance and solidarity, firmly support the maintenance of each other's core interests, and become reliable partners on our respective paths of development and revitalization; We practice a common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept, cater to the reasonable security concerns of all parties, coordinate responses to various traditional and non-traditional security challenges, and jointly safeguard regional peace and tranquility; We uphold the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing, align with the development strategies and regional cooperation initiatives of various countries, and promote coordinated and linked economic development among countries; We inherit the spirit of good neighborliness and friendship, adhere to equality and mutual learning among civilizations, dialogue and inclusiveness, and advocate for peaceful coexistence and harmonious coexistence among different civilizations; We uphold international fairness and justice, oppose hegemonic and hegemonic acts, build a partnership of dialogue, non confrontation, and partnership, and strengthen the progressive force in maintaining world peace and stability.
Unity or division? Peace or conflict? Cooperation or confrontation? Once again, it has become a question of the times. My answer is that the aspiration of people from all countries for a better life is our pursuit, and the trend of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win is unstoppable. We must shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted by the times, keep in mind our original aspiration and mission, adhere to unity and cooperation, and inject more certainty and positive energy into maintaining world peace and development.
Firstly, hold onto the correct direction and enhance unity and mutual trust. It has been proven that as long as we have a broad vision, shoulder our responsibilities and missions, and eliminate various interferences, we can maintain and achieve the security and development interests of all member states. We need to strengthen strategic communication and collaboration, advocate dialogue to bridge differences, cooperation to surpass competition, truly respect each other's core interests and major concerns, and firmly support each other in achieving development and revitalization. Starting from the overall and long-term interests of the region, independently formulate foreign policies, and firmly grasp the future and destiny of our country's development and progress in our own hands.
Secondly, maintain regional peace and ensure common security. China is willing to work with all parties to implement global security initiatives, adhere to resolving differences and contradictions between countries through dialogue and consultation, promote political solutions to international and regional hot issues, and build a strong regional security barrier. To enhance the level of security cooperation within our organization, we will severely crack down on the "three forces" such as East Turkestan, drug smuggling, cyber and transnational organized crime, and expand cooperation in non-traditional security areas such as data security, biosecurity, and outer space security. Continue to play the role of coordination and cooperation mechanisms among neighboring countries in Afghanistan, and promote Afghanistan to embark on the path of peaceful reconstruction.
Thirdly, focus on pragmatic cooperation and accelerate economic recovery. China is willing to work with all parties to implement global development initiatives, adhere to the correct direction of economic globalization, oppose protectionism, unilateral sanctions, and the generalization of national security concepts, oppose the practice of "building walls and barriers" and "decoupling and breaking links", and strive to expand the cake of mutually beneficial cooperation, so that development results can benefit people of all countries more and more fairly. All parties are welcome to participate in the third "the Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum, and jointly pave this happy road for the world. The Chinese side suggests expanding the local currency settlement share of our organization's countries and promoting the establishment of our organization's development bank.
Fourthly, strengthen communication and mutual learning to promote mutual understanding among the people. China welcomes all parties to work together to implement the Global Civilization Initiative, promote inclusive coexistence of different civilizations, and promote mutual understanding and affinity among people of all countries. We need to continue to deepen cooperation in fields such as education, technology, culture, health, sports, and media. In the next three years, China will provide 1000 international Chinese teacher scholarships and 3000 "Chinese Bridge" summer camps to the countries of this organization, and invite 100 young scientists to participate in scientific research exchanges in China.
Fifth, practice multilateralism and improve global governance. We must promote the common values of all mankind, firmly uphold the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, oppose hegemonism and power politics, promote global governance towards a more just and reasonable direction, and advance the modernization of human society through joint efforts to continuously promote fairness in rights, opportunities, and rules. We must work together to be builders of world peace, contributors to global development, and maintainers of the international order.
We are willing to use the new achievements of Chinese path to modernization to provide new development opportunities for all countries in the world, including the SCO countries, and promote the building of a better world.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization conforms to the current trend of the times and aligns with the direction of human progress, and will definitely continue to develop and grow through our joint efforts.
The attending leaders positively praised the significant achievements made in the development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, welcomed Iran's official accession to the SCO family, and looked forward to Belarus completing the process of joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organization as soon as possible. All parties expressed that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is constantly growing and its international influence is constantly increasing. It has made important contributions to deepening neighborly friendship, safeguarding the common interests of member states, promoting lasting peace and stability in the region and the world, and promoting sustainable development. It has become a model of mutual trust, equal dialogue, and mutually beneficial cooperation. We should further promote the "Shanghai Spirit", enhance mutual understanding and cooperation, promote regional economic cooperation, oppose ideological confrontation, and oppose division and discrimination. We will strengthen regional connectivity and the construction of major corridors, support the docking of the "the Belt and Road" initiative with the construction of the Eurasian Economic Union, deepen cooperation in trade, finance, energy, science and technology, environmental protection, digital economy, people to people and cultural exchanges, and work together to address global challenges such as the food and energy crisis and climate change. Jointly combat terrorism and other "three forces", and build a strong regional security barrier. Adhere to true multilateralism, support the United Nations in playing a leading role, and strengthen global governance.
