Having granted Iran full membership, the organization also began the process of admitting Belarus, and recognizing Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar as "dialogue partners."
In his keynote speech, Chinese President Xi Jinping observed that an increasing number of countries have applied to join the SCO, demonstrating the broad appeal of the group's vision" and a "widely-shared confidence in its future."
In a time of accelerated change, uncertainty and transformation, President Xi called for renewed commitment to the "Shanghai Spirit," to strengthen trust, promote cooperation to help ensure mutual benefit among all SCO members.
President Xi reinforced his call to action with a commitment to enact a series of concrete initiatives, including the creation of a China-SCO training center for counterterrorism, a China-SCO big Data Cooperation Center, as well as emergency humanitarian assistance, providing 1.5 billion RMB (214 million USD) in grain and other supplies to developing countries in need.
