摘要
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization(SCO) has withstood storms to create a cooperative platform in Central Asia that conforms to the trend of the times, meets regional needs, and serves its member states’ interests. SCO’s commitment to innovative thinking, security cooperation and regional coordination has contributed to regional stability and development and to gaining experience for establishing regional and global order. China-Russia cooperation, efforts by the "Shanghai Five," relations among member states, and external pressure have been the main driving forces supporting a huge increase in trade in the past 20 years. For regional development and stability and a greater role in global governance, the SCO should continue taking the long-term perspective in planning and policy.
