　The Five Ideas--
Provide the "golden key" to the development of the SCO"

In today's world, hegemonism and power politics, traditional and non-traditional security threats, unilateralism, trade protectionism, and anti-globalization trends... various risks and challenges are emerging one after another.

The SCO transcends outdated concepts such as the conflict of civilizations, the Cold War mentality, and the zero-sum game, and creatively puts forward the "Shanghai Spirit", advocates mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and seeks common development, and builds non-alignment and non-confrontation., A constructive partnership that does not target third parties has made new contributions to regional peace and development.

"This is a major innovation in the theory and practice of international relations and has created a new model of regional cooperation." Guan Xueling, Secretary of the Party Committee and Professor of the School of Economics of Renmin University of China, believes that the SCO's cooperation model of "partnership but not alliance" promotes the equal development of countries with different systems, enhances mutual trust, and sets a successful example for regional and even global cooperation.

"The SCO has reached consensus and win-win cooperation to build a community with a shared future in the region, which is attractive to many countries." Lan jianxue, associate researcher at the china academy of international studies.

In his important speech, President Xi Jinping systematically expounded the five major concepts to be advocated and practiced, such as the concept of development, security, cooperation, civilization and global governance.

Xing Guangcheng, director and researcher of the Chinese Frontier Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the five concepts are interrelated and form an integration, which not only provides a "golden key" for the future development of the SCO, but also helps countries around the world solve the problems of the times and resolve various challenges.

Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Institute of Russian, Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said: "the five concepts are the concrete embodiment of building a new type of international relations and building a community with a shared future for mankind. it provides a new path and guiding principles for SCO regional cooperation and the improvement of global governance."

Li Ziguo, acting director of the Eurasian Institute of the China Academy of International Studies, believes that the SCO is the advocate and practitioner of the above five concepts. China's suggestions such as training 2000 law enforcement officers for all parties are practical suggestions based on the new situation. "Closer partnerships with international and regional organizations such as the United Nations, and dialogue with international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank ...... These initiatives will undoubtedly enhance the SCO's ability to participate in global governance."

　　Six consistent--
Drawing a blueprint for the future development of the SCO

On the afternoon of June 10, the Qingdao Declaration of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization was published. From the outline for the implementation of the Treaty on long-term good-neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation among the member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the next five years to the outline for cooperation in cracking down on the "three forces" in the next three years, a number of documents will be implemented.

"Establishing the common concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind" was written into the Qingdao Declaration of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Deng Hao, secretary-general of the China SCO Research Center, believes that this has pointed out a promising direction for the SCO, endowed the SCO with a new historical mission, and gave the SCO a more ambitious goal.

Lan Jianxue was impressed by the "six unison" that President Xi Jinping told reporters when he met with the leaders of the SCO member states: "This shows that the SCO Qingdao Summit has drawn a comprehensive plan and a clear direction for the SCO. With a clear development blueprint, the SCO stands at a new starting point."

Xing Guangcheng told reporters that China's global governance concept adheres to the principle of joint discussion, co construction and sharing, and constantly improves the existing global governance system. "The SCO community of common destiny is an important part and implementation guide of the community of human destiny, which will help to promote the construction of the community of human destiny".

Deng Hao believes that the expansion of the SCO will give new vitality to the SCO, provide a new broad market and access to the sea for Central Asia, and help promote cooperation and integration between the two major regions of Central Asia and South Asia, and form a new pattern of cross-regional markets and connectivity.
 

In his speech, President Xi Jinping proposed to respect each other's choice of development path, take into account each other's core interests and major concerns, enhance mutual understanding through empathy, and promote harmony and unity through seeking common ground while reserving differences. Li Ziguo said, "Only by thinking differently can we truly understand each other's concerns and reach an understanding easily. SCO member states have different cultural backgrounds, ways of thinking, religious beliefs and interests, and only by seeking common ground while reserving differences can we find the greatest common denominator of interest."
