Li Qiang Attends the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of Government (Prime Ministers) of Shanghai Cooperation Organization Member States

Li Qiang proposed uniting international partners, seeking common ground while setting aside differences, strengthening economic and trade cooperation, international transport corridors and the stability of industrial and supply chains, safeguarding peace and promoting cultural coexistence.

Li Qiang noted that in recent years, calls within the international community to strengthen multilateralism and reform and improve global governance have grown increasingly strong. The SCO should strive to unite more international partners and play an active role at the global level. A particularly important aspect is to seek common ground while reserving differences, and to expand common ground while resolving differences. We should strengthen economic and trade cooperation amid differences in endowments, build a stable and resilient system of international transport corridors, and keep global industrial and supply chains stable and functioning smoothly. We should seek shared interests amid differences in demands and work together to safeguard world peace and stability. We should promote harmony and coexistence amid cultural differences.

Li Qiang proposed building consensus, improving the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's operational effectiveness, strengthening cooperation projects and putting the four global initiatives into practice.

Li Qiang said that this year marks the 25th anniversary of the SCO's founding. At the Bishkek summit, President Xi Jinping pointed out that, standing at a crossroads concerning humanity's future and destiny, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization should shoulder its historical responsibilities and take the initiative in steering the course of history. This requires us both to better build consensus at the level of the “Way”—our outlook, ideas and thinking—with the insight to perceive major trends, a global perspective and the perseverance to act steadfastly for long-term progress, and to take more effective action at the level of “technique”—operations and execution. We must improve the organization's operational effectiveness, strengthen cooperation projects with concrete work, set examples that drive further progress, promote higher-quality SCO development, put into practice the four global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping, and build a community with a shared future for humanity.

The participating parties called for implementing the outcomes of the Tianjin and Bishkek summits, carrying forward the Shanghai Spirit and strengthening communication and coordination.

The participating parties said that the SCO has continued to grow and strengthen over the 25 years since its founding, with its international influence increasing steadily. All parties should actively implement the outcomes of the Tianjin and Bishkek summits, further promote the “Shanghai Spirit,” strengthen communication and coordination, and advance high-quality SCO development, making greater contributions to peace and development in the region and the world.

Li Qiang and leaders of the member states signed and issued a joint communiqué and approved cooperation documents and resolutions on organizational development.
