"The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has enormous advantages in economic cooperation, and member states can seek partners through direct dialogue, jointly develop projects, deepen friendly relations, and promote the construction of a closer SCO community with a shared future." Sergei Kanavsky, Executive Secretary General of the SCO industrialists' committee, recently stated in an interview with our reporter that the SCO will further develop and grow, and will explore more cooperation potential in the future to promote high-quality economic development of member states.
The 23rd meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization accepted Iran as a member state and signed a memorandum of understanding on Belarus's obligations to join the organization. Kanavsky stated that the orderly completion of the process of Iran and Belarus joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is of great historical significance. At present, more and more countries hope to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, realizing that cooperation with the organization has broad prospects, and hoping to establish a closer cooperative relationship with the organization. "The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Practitioners' Committee is pleased to see this trend and will maintain an open attitude, welcoming cooperation between other regional countries and member states."
Kanavsky said that within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, member countries have carried out a large number of cooperation projects in logistics, agriculture, health, energy and other fields, all of which can consider each other's interests and promote regional national unity. China has proposed multiple transportation connectivity initiatives, which are conducive to deeper cooperation among countries. "Since the COVID-19, China's economic recovery has shown strong resilience, which has strongly promoted the development of the global economy." Kanavsky said, in particular, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out the direction for China's future development, which is not only of great significance to China, but also has an important impact on the world, injecting strong impetus into China's friendly cooperation with other countries. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization industrialists committee is highly concerned about China's development and hopes to further deepen cooperation with Chinese partners.
He said that China advocates and practices true multilateralism. Everyone's affairs are discussed and promoted together, and everyone's rules are formulated and followed together. We cannot impose rules set by one or several countries on others, nor can we let individual countries set the pace for the entire world based on their so-called "power status".
Kanavsky believes that China's support for multilateralism and improvement of global governance policies have continuity, and has always been committed to promoting global governance towards a more just and reasonable direction, providing guidance for the world to respond to crisis challenges. History has repeatedly proven that multilateral institutions are platforms for practicing multilateralism, the basic framework for maintaining multilateralism, and should uphold their authority and effectiveness. We should reform and improve the global governance system based on extensive consultation and consensus building.
Since 2006, Kanavski has been responsible for handling the affairs of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's industrialists committee, and has maintained close business dealings with Chinese colleagues during this period. "I have visited cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Chongqing, witnessing China's development and changes. Especially in the past decade, China has achieved tremendous development achievements. The economic miracle created by China has provided experience and examples for countries still seeking their own development path."
"The fundamentals of China's long-term economic growth have not changed, the quality of economic growth is getting higher and higher, and China's position as the anchor of world economic stability has become increasingly prominent." Kanavsky believes that China's economic position is pivotal, especially the COVID-19 has led to a serious crisis in the global economy, and China has played a key role in stabilizing and unblocking the global industrial chain supply chain. He said that the Chinese market has attracted the world's attention, especially in the fields of new energy vehicles and green development. China's related technological development has a global leading advantage. "The valuable experiences China has gained are beneficial references for many countries and should be promoted within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.".
"Practice has proved that China's initiatives and initiatives will be translated into tangible results through practical actions." Kanavsky said that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the the Belt and Road Initiative, and China has constantly promoted the transformation of political consensus into concrete actions and the transformation of conceptual identity into practical results. At present, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" has become a popular international public product and the largest international cooperation platform, showing strong vitality. "The global development initiative, global security initiative, and global civilization initiative proposed by China are in line with the international community's common aspiration for justice, peace, and development. They will further consolidate international consensus, gather cooperation forces, and inject strong positive energy into improving global governance."
