🌏 An SCO summit will be held in Samarkand, Republic of Uzbekistan, on September 15-16.
The summit will take place amid three converging crises that directly affect the SCO member states andregional peace and security and that can catalyse changes in the existing world order. First comes the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan followed by the Ukraine-related crisisinvolving the "sanctions from hell" on Russia, and the crisis surrounding Chinese Taiwan that was caused by US provocations. The crisis of international relations which provides fertile soil for the crystallisation of anew multipolar world is the biggest crisis, though.
The world is witnessing a sharp aggravation in East-West relations that is being caused by the onset of a new world order. Once again, the West is “building” walls of alienation and “lowering” a second Iron Curtain in 70 years. The United States is making futile attempts to form a “broad-based” coalition against Russia and is resorting to blackmail and threats against China in an attempt to preservethe unipolar world. Global politics and economics are in the throes ofmounting turbulence and tensions. The conventional international order is becoming a thing of the past.
The forthcomming summit of the Shanghai Coopertion Organisation is critically important for global peace and international security. The first post-pandemic, comprehensive, in-person meeting of the Eurasian G8 and its partners is expected to come off as a historic event, writes Rashid Alimov, Professor, Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Doctor of Political Sciences, SCO Secretary-General (2016–2018).
