A driving force for bringing unity in diversity

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization has, in recent years, emerged as a dynamic grouping, shaping the evolving world order — not only through its focus on regional and international security, but increasingly through mutual respect, inclusive dialogue, shared innovation, and joint efforts to protect genuine multilateralism, equity and diversity of civilizations, and the critical role of the United Nations in global governance. Previously, China has already proposed three global initiatives, and at the summit in Tianjin, China proposed the Global Governance Initiative to open new space for collective understanding and coordinated behavior.
