Abstract

Since the outbreak of the COVID-2019, in the context of a series of international and regional conflicts, such as the protracted Russian Ukrainian conflict, the escalating European energy crisis, and the frequent wars along the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the leaders of the SCO countries convened the offline summit for the first time and issued the Samarqand Declaration. Compared with the past, the Samarqand Summit has achieved fruitful results, reflected a series of new signals. At the same time, the implementation of the results may also face internal and external challenges and practical problems. However, all parties expect that the SCO, which has been established for 21 years, will continue to show greater responsibility in regional and global development, consolidate new consensus on cooperation and write a new chapter of cooperation.
