Posters: Toward higher-quality development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday delivered a speech titled "Toward Higher-Quality Development of The Shanghai Cooperation Organization" at the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.

Here are the highlights:

-- Over the past 25 years, the SCO has traveled an extraordinary journey. Its biggest achievement is that it has steadily grown into a new type of regional cooperation organization with the largest land area and population and enormous development potential.

-- Its most valuable spiritual asset is that it pioneered, and has since followed invariably, the Shanghai Spirit of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations, and pursuit of common development.

-- Its most important experience for cooperation is that it has found the right way of coexistence featuring non-alliance, non-confrontation and not targeting any third party, enabling regional countries to build a common home together.

-- At such a crossroads with humanity's future at stake, the SCO should step forward to shoulder its historical responsibility and steer the course for the future.

-- First, we should stay committed to putting development first, and open up the prospects for shared prosperity.

-- Second, we should stay committed to taking security as a key goal, and foster an environment of common security.

-- Third, we should stay committed to a people-centered approach, and cement the foundation for everlasting friendship.

-- Fourth, we should stay committed to dialogue and consultation, and strive for more equitable and orderly governance.
