In his speech, he touched upon various topical issues of interaction in the SCO format. One of them is the expansion of collaboration in the field of security. The Chinese leader also mentioned the situation in Afghanistan, emphasising the need to encourage the authorities of this country to create an inclusive political structure and eliminate the ground for the emergence of terrorism.
Xi Jinping spoke about the need to deepen practical liaisons, cultivate additional points of growth for interaction, adhere to multilateral approaches, and advocate the abandonment of bloc policies.
The President of the People’s Republic of China also made a number of practical proposals and spoke about the major forums planned to be held, which will be devoted to logistics, poverty reduction and sustainable development.
