Multipolar Dreams in Bishkek: Can SCO Leaders Deliver on Their Vision? The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Kyrgyzstan's capital, Bishkek, marks 25 years of the grouping's existence.
The annual meeting brings together leaders from China, Russia, India, and other member states to promote a vision of a multipolar world and strengthen mutual trade ties amidst global chaos triggered by US unilateral policies.
The summit takes place against a tumultuous backdrop: the aftermath of the US Israel war on Iran and the ongoing Russia Ukraine conflict continue to shape the global landscape.
