The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit 2025 will convene in Tianjin, China, bringing together leaders from Eurasia and South Asia at a pivotal moment for global geopolitics.
Highlights to watch:• China’s Agenda: As host, Beijing is expected to emphasize trade connectivity, energy security, and digital cooperation.
• India–China Dynamic: How Delhi and Beijing balance competition and cooperation within the SCO framework will be closely observed.
• Russia’s Positioning: Amid ongoing global isolation, Moscow may lean on the SCO to project influence and secure new economic commitments.
• Central Asia’s Voice: With shifting power balances, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and others will push for more regional infrastructure and security guarantees.
• New Memberships/Observers: Potential talks on expanding the SCO footprint further into the Middle East and Africa.
Key Themes for Discussion:• Counterterrorism & regional stability
• Energy and critical minerals cooperation
• Belt and Road Initiative synergy with SCO goals
• Food security and climate resilience in Eurasia
The Tianjin summit is likely to underscore the SCO’s growing role as an alternative pole in global order, while testing whether the bloc can move beyond symbolism into deeper integration.
