NEW DELHI: Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called out the " bullying behaviour " of world order and urged Russia and India to oppose " Cold War mentality and camp confrontation."
In his speech at the ongoing Sanghai Corporation Organisation summit in Tianjin, Xi said that current international situation is becoming chaotic and intertwined.
"Adhere to fairness and justice... oppose Cold War mentality, camp confrontation, and bullying behaviour," Xi said.
"The current international situation is becoming chaotic and intertwined. The security and development tasks facing member states have become even more challenging" he added.
Xi said that the SCO has achieved success by practicing the " Shanghai spirit ."
"Looking back, despite tumultuous times, we have achieved success by practicing the Shanghai spirit," Xi said.
"Looking to the future, with the world undergoing turbulence and transformation, we must continue to follow the Shanghai spirit, keep our feet on the ground, forge ahead, and better perform the functions of the organisation," he added.
China and Russia have touted the SCO as an alternative to the NATO military alliance.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also attended the summit in Tianjin.
The 25th meeting of the Heads of State Council of the 10-member SCO saw leaders charting the bloc’s future roadmap. Jinping welcomed the participants as discussions got under way.
The summit was formally inaugurated on Sunday evening with a grand banquet hosted by Xi, attended by PM Modi, Putin, and other leaders. This year’s gathering is the largest in SCO’s history, with over 20 foreign leaders and 10 heads of international organisations — including UN Secretary-General António Guterres — invited to the “SCO Plus” format under China’s presidency.
Founded in Shanghai in June 2001, the SCO has grown from six founding members to a 26-nation grouping, comprising 10 full members, two observers, and 14 dialogue partners across Asia, Europe, and Africa. With China, Russia, and India among its members, the bloc represents nearly half the world’s population and a quarter of the global economy.
