Host: On March 7, Foreign Minister Wang Yi officially announced that China will host the SCO Summit in Tianjin this fall. After learning about this news, the city’s party members and cadres were deeply encouraged and excited. Everyone expressed that they will take the "Shanghai Spirit" as a guide, mobilize all forces, improve the working mechanism, and create a good open environment for the successful convening of the summit and achieve fruitful results, so that the foundation of the SCO community with a shared future will be more solid and the development will be more prosperous. Let’s listen to the reporter’s report:

As the first intergovernmental international organization that originated in China, radiates to Asia and Europe, and is committed to the world, the SCO has become the business card of the era of major power diplomacy with Chinese characteristics since its birth. Luan Jianzhang, director of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, said that he will do his best to ensure the smooth convening of the SCO Summit for foreign affairs:

(Record: Such an event will be held in Tianjin, which will greatly enhance Tianjin's influence and reputation in the international community, and will further promote Tianjin's high-level opening up and high-quality development, and promote this in-depth exchange and cooperation between Tianjin and the SCO national families. We will take responsibility with a high morale and spirit, do our best to perform our duties and responsibilities, and make every effort to ensure the service of the summit. We will give a satisfactory answer to the central and international community.)

The SCO Summit was held in Tianjin, reflecting the central government’s high trust in Tianjin and is also a favorable opportunity for Tianjin to enhance its level of opening up to the outside world and its international influence. Sun Jiannan, director of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said:

(Record: The Municipal Bureau of Commerce will be guided by the "Shanghai Spirit" to effectively enhance its sense of political responsibility and historical mission, focus on the overall situation, bravely shoulder heavy responsibilities, and give full play to the role of the "integrator" of opening up to the outside world. We will continue to build the "Invest in Tianjin" brand to serve more key foreign investment projects and equity investment projects to be implemented in Tianjin. Accelerate the expansion and improvement of the "going out" cooperation platform, and expand foreign investment cooperation in emerging fields such as green economy and digital economy. Continuously promote the coordinated development of our city and the SCO national trade and investment.)

Tianjin has two sea and air ports, with convenient transportation. Tianjin Port is the largest port in northern my country. It has built many new land-sea channels and has close economic and trade exchanges with SCO member states. In recent years, it has expanded import and export products to "new three" and become a new growth point. Tang Bin, director of Tianjin Customs Statistics Department, introduced:

(Record: According to statistics from Tianjin Customs, in 2024, Tianjin and nine other formal SCO member countries imported and exported 47.39 billion yuan, an increase of 15.6% over 2023, accounting for 5.8% of the total import and export value of Tianjin during the same period. Tianjin Customs has successively introduced a number of measures such as the "24 Articles of Tianjin and Customs" to fully support the economic and trade exchanges between Tianjin and SCO member countries. In 2023 and 2024, bilateral trade between Tianjin and the SCO exceeded 40 billion yuan for two consecutive years, showing huge economic and trade development potential.)

The Luban Workshop, originally created by Tianjin, is a technical station built in countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, and has become an important bridge for China to deepen pragmatic cooperation with SCO member states. Wu Zongbao, President of Tianjin Vocational University, said that the Golden Autumn of the SCO Summit was held in Tianjin, allowing Tianjin to stand on the center of the international stage again and become a strategic hub for building regional cooperation consensus and drawing a blueprint for development, which is exciting:

(Record: Tianjin Vocational University, East Kazakhstan Technical University and National Eurasian University jointly built two Luban workshops, deepening China-Kazakhstan cultural exchanges and helping the high-quality construction and development of the Belt and Road Initiative. We look forward to more cooperation projects for exchanges and communication between China and foreigners in SCO member states, further expanding cooperation in emerging fields such as digital technology and green energy, building a multinational technical education and training network, and making vocational education an accelerator for regional coordinated development. I believe that when young people from all countries share the dividends of technical skills, the foundation of the SCO community with a shared future will be stronger and the development will be more prosperous.)
