What are the expectations of all parties in the new situation?, Academic updates | Shanghai Cooperation Summit to be held next month | Cooperation | Summit

The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that India will hold the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit online on July 4th. On June 16th, the China Shanghai Cooperation Organization International Judicial Exchange and Cooperation Training Base held a forward-looking seminar on the summit of the heads of state.

Scholars attending the conference believe that over the past 20 years since its establishment, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has been guided by the "Shanghai Spirit" and has created a new model of regional cooperation, making important contributions to regional peace and development. Especially after the SCO ushered in a new round of expansion, the SCO's "circle of friends" continued to expand, and its global influence continued to expand.

Scholars point out that China should continue to hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win, adhere to the international relations norms consistently upheld by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, uphold international fairness and justice, advocate multilateralism and openness, resolve differences and disputes through peaceful means, and promote development and prosperity through the concept of win-win.

Since the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has been closely monitoring and supporting relevant countries to continue working to eliminate differences and promote the search for common interests from a regional perspective. Zhang Ming, Secretary General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, previously stated that SCO member states are willing to create favorable conditions for resolving the Ukrainian crisis.

Scholars point out that in the new international situation, all parties within the SCO framework have new expectations for regional cooperation.

China and Russia have long been regarded as the locomotives leading the development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. China regards SCO as an important platform for practicing the new security concept and building a new type of international relations characterized by "partnership without alliance, cooperation without confrontation". Under the pressure of Western sanctions, Russia relies more on regional cooperation and has a more proactive and open attitude.

As a core member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), Central Asian countries have increasingly highlighted their strategic significance in connecting important channels between the East and the West. They are concerned about whether they can contribute to regional counter-terrorism, Afghan security and other issues through SCO, and help them achieve trade connectivity with coastal regions such as Southeast Asia. They also hope to occupy a favorable position in the global reshuffle of commodities such as energy.

Middle Eastern countries also value the role of SCO and, after China successfully mediates the Saudi Arabian conflict, value and look forward to China's role in the regional security architecture. Some scholars believe that as Middle Eastern countries participate more in the SCO cooperation platform, the concept of the "SCO Energy Club" presents an attractive picture and may consider expanding cooperation with OPEC.

South Asian countries also hope to promote cooperation through SCO. As the host country, India mentioned several theme words: security, economy and trade, connectivity, unity, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and environment. The Indian side hopes to establish "new pillars of cooperation" in areas such as innovation and digital economy.

Received endorsement from the United States and South Korea? Japan may finalize schedule for Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea, US, Japan, South Korea | Kishida | Nuclear wastewater | Japan

On the 20th local time, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida immediately went to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after his trip to the United States to inspect the preparations for the discharge of contaminated water into the sea. Japanese media also reported that the Japanese government will hold a cabinet meeting on the 22nd to finalize the schedule for the discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea. Public opinion has noticed that in the context of the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge plan seemingly receiving support from the US and South Korean governments, Kishida's visit to Fukushima this time aims to win the support of local people for this plan. However, there are still many questions to be answered regarding the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge plan. Before making a final decision, I would like to personally visit the site. On the 18th local time, after meeting with US and South Korean leaders in the United States, Kishida stated that he will go to Fukushima before the 20th to inspect the preparations for the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea.

The Russian central bank urgently raised interest rates by 350 basis points, causing the Russian ruble to drop to a nearly 17 month low. The Russian central bank urgently raised interest rates, and the ruble exchange rate fell

According to foreign media reports, the Russian central bank held a non routine interest rate meeting on the 15th local time, during which it decided to raise the benchmark interest rate by 350 basis points from the previous 8.5% to 12%. The previous day, the exchange rate of the Russian ruble against the US dollar fell below 100 rubles per dollar, marking the first time since March last year that it has fallen below this psychological threshold. After the Russian central bank announced its interest rate hike decision, the ruble has rebounded somewhat. According to reports, the Russian central bank announced a significant interest rate hike on the 15th, stating that as the ruble depreciates and inflation expectations rise, this decision is aimed at limiting the risk of price stability. However, the Russian central bank has previously stated that it has not seen any threat to financial stability from the decline in the ruble. It is reported that due to the previous drop of the ruble to US dollar exchange rate below 1 to 100 rubles, it was originally scheduled for September

WHO says "we need to pay attention". COVID-19 mutant EG. 5 attracts attention from WHO | COVID-19 mutant EG. 5

Recently, the number of cases infected with COVID-19 variant strain EG. 5 has been on the rise in many parts of the world. On the 9th, the World Health Organization listed EG.5 as a "variant that needs attention.". However, experts and scholars generally believe that EG. 5 will not pose a serious threat to public health. The mutated strain that needs attention, due to naming differences, appears to be a new strain of EG.5. In fact, it is not the case. Like strains such as XBB.1.16, EG. 5 is also a member of the Omicron family. This means that compared to other recently popular Omicron variants, the changes in EG. 5 are relatively limited, unlike the leap from Delta to Omicron. However, EG. 5 is also constantly evolving and currently has its own branch, EG. 5.1. In terms of symptoms, compared with other COVID-19 strains
