Over the past quarter century of growth, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has become the world's largest comprehensive regional cooperation organization with the largest coverage area and population. From August 31st to September 1st, the largest summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization since its establishment will be held in Tianjin, writing a new poem of "peace and cooperation" on this open and inclusive land. The story of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on the land of Jingu has already begun, with transportation connections, economic and trade exchanges, technological cooperation, educational cooperation, and mutual learning of civilizations. Each train connects Europe and Asia, and each cooperation takes root. Each exchange gathers people's hearts... Those who share the same aspirations, mountains and seas are never far away. The "Steel Camel Team" opened up the SCO "New Silk Road" and the train brake test was normal, and the instrument displays on the driver's cab control panel were correct. ”The departure signal is open and the train is starting. ”Under the control of Li Gen and his colleague Li Qingquan, a fully loaded train steadily departed from Tianjin Xingang North Railway Container Center Station in the morning light, heading towards Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. Li Gen is a driver at the Tianjin locomotive depot of China Railway Beijing Group Co., Ltd. This year marks his ninth year serving the China Europe (Central Asia) freight train transportation. Over the years, he has witnessed the expansion of the cargo categories transported by trains from food and daily necessities to automotive parts, electrical products, industrial machinery, etc., and the freight volume continues to rise. At the Wujie San yard of Tianjin Port, a China Europe (Central Asia) train bound for Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia is carrying out container lifting operations. Tianjin, a coastal city in China that borders the Bohai Sea to the east and the Yanshan Mountains to the north, is known as the "hub of rivers and seas". More and more goods from SCO countries are being distributed at Tianjin Port, which ranks among the top ten ports in the world, making Tianjin an important hub for a large number of China Europe (Central Asia) trains and connecting SCO countries with global markets. Since 2013, Tianjin has operated more than 7300 China Europe (Central Asia) trains, and the number of trains connecting Eurasian countries and regions has expanded to 25; In the first half of this year, Tianjin Customs District shipped a total of 365 China Europe (Central Asia) trains, a year-on-year increase of 18.4%. While bringing goods by sea to the Eurasian continent, Tianjin Port is deeply developing characteristic goods such as grain and mineral products in Central Asia, providing return sources for trains and creating an "outlet" for countries in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent facing the international market. Tianjin Port is a gateway connecting China and Central Asian countries with the world. ”Sheradir Baktegulov, Director of the Institute of World Politics in Kyrgyzstan, said. Water and land are intertwined, and boats and vehicles are connected. At present, the total number of container shipping routes in Tianjin Port has exceeded 140, maintaining shipping and trade exchanges with over 500 ports in more than 180 countries and regions; The freight volume of China Europe (Central Asia) trains consistently ranks among the top in coastal ports. The port is Tianjin's' hard core 'advantage and important strategic resource. ”Chu Bin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Tianjin Port (Group) Co., Ltd., said, "We need to strengthen international logistics hub cooperation with our partners in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and strive to open up foreign trade routes, long-distance trunk lines, and intermodal trains. The transportation cooperation between Tianjin and SCO countries is a vivid portrayal of regional connectivity. In 2024, there will be 19000 China Europe freight trains passing through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries, and the freight volume of the Trans Caspian International Transport Corridor will steadily increase. The China Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan Railway Project has officially started... Faced with the geographical location of Central Asian countries deep inland, multiple "transportation corridors" that are already in operation and under construction have opened up their sea routes and trade routes, becoming the "hard foundation" and "new engine" for economic and cultural exchanges. Efficient transportation mechanisms continue to drive the expansion and upgrading of trade channels. ”Fariz Ariyan, Director of the Transport Policy Department of the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of Azerbaijan, said. While continuously upgrading cross-border transportation infrastructure, various regions in China are also accelerating the search for project cooperation opportunities and "two-way cooperation" with SCO countries. In April 2024, Tianjin Rail Transit Group signed a consulting service contract for the Astana Light Rail Phase I project in Kazakhstan. Subsequently, multiple high-level professional technical and teacher training teams were dispatched to provide technical solutions for equipment system installation and commissioning, adverse weather response, etc., and 29 driver trainees of Astana's first light rail train were organized to study and train in Tianjin. Interconnection not only requires deepening the 'hard connectivity' of infrastructure and the 'soft connectivity' of rules and standards, but also promoting the 'heart connectivity' between people. ”Wu Bingjun, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Tianjin Rail Transit Group, said. When the camel bell rings, ten thousand taels of gold. The "steel camel caravan" of the new era is building a bridge of economic and trade interaction and win-win cooperation on the vast Eurasian continent. The "chemical reaction" brought about by the expansion and upgrading of trade channels is igniting new sparks in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries. (Author: Xinhua Daily Telegraph reporter Wang Jianhua and Liu Weizhen) The "light" of China illuminates the SCO economic and trade cooperation. Namangan Oblast is an economic hub located in the northeast of Uzbekistan, just over 200 kilometers from the capital city of Namangan to the capital city of Tashkent. For several months, a "blue ocean" in the Gobi Desert has become the new focus of Namangan State. This industrial zone, which once suffered from insufficient electricity, is undergoing a change - Namangan state has become a destination for Chinese companies to build photovoltaic projects. Last December, the first phase of the 500 MW photovoltaic power station project in Namangan State was connected to the grid for power generation. Not only for Namangan Oblast, we believe that the project will add momentum to the green development of the entire Uzbekistan. ”Habibullah Said, an employee of the Ukrainian side of the project, said. This is a green energy project launched by China in Uzbekistan over a year ago, which is in line with Uzbekistan's vision to increase the proportion of renewable energy to 40% by 2030. Chen Yitao, Executive Vice President of Tianjin Branch of Information Industry Electronics Eleventh Design and Research Institute Technology Engineering Co., Ltd., introduced that after the project is fully completed in 2026, it will provide Uzbekistan with over 1 billion kilowatt hours of stable green electricity annually. This photovoltaic project with the largest single capacity on the DC side in Uzbekistan is a powerful example of China's increasing economic, trade, and investment cooperation with SCO countries in recent years, demonstrating the enormous potential of relying on complementary trade advantages and exploring multilateral cooperation. A set of data shows a bright future - by 2024, China's trade volume with SCO member states, observer states, and dialogue partners will reach a record high of $890 billion, accounting for approximately 14.4% of China's total foreign trade. By the end of 2024, China's investment stock in various types of SCO member states, observer states, and dialogue partners exceeded 140 billion US dollars, and the cumulative amount of newly signed contracts for contracted projects exceeded 1 trillion US dollars. As the venue for the 25th meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Tianjin has formed a deep bond with the SCO countries. In Uzbekistan, Mingyuan Silk Road (Tianjin) Industrial Co., Ltd. organized the construction of the Uzbekistan China "Mingyuan Silk Road Glass Industry Park" and the "Uzbekistan China Mingyuan Silk Road Free Trade Zone" to help attract more dynamic investors to this land; In Kyrgyzstan, the market share of electric bicycles from Tianjin has exceeded 20%; In more SCO countries, about 40000 second-hand cars from Tianjin are speeding on the roads, bringing high-quality and affordable travel experiences to local people... According to data from the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Commerce, in 2024, the total import and export volume between Tianjin and SCO countries reached 89.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.9%. As of the end of 2024, Tianjin has invested a total of 2.43 billion US dollars in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries. With the deepening of economic and trade cooperation, more specific changes are happening around us. In Uzbekistan, Li Wenming, general manager of Mingyuan Silk Road, often meets Chinese people. These hurried Chinese businessmen bring vitality to the economy here. Previously, when buying parts here, bulk purchases were more expensive than individual purchases because the shop owner was concerned about not having any remaining inventory to sell to other customers. ”Li Wenming said that now, this situation has significantly improved, and the abundant supply of "Made in China" has created more possibilities for local production and life. At present, the second phase of the 500 MW photovoltaic power station project in Namangan state is busy with construction. China has not only brought advanced photovoltaic technology, but also brought greenery to this desert -2000 Chinese fruit tree seedlings and photovoltaic piles have been planted here, becoming a small oasis. This year, with the good news of the first phase of the project being connected to the grid for power generation, the fruit trees produced their first batch of fruit, which was tasted by employees from both China and Ukraine. The picture shows fruit trees planted around the 500 MW photovoltaic power plant project in Namangan Oblast, Uzbekistan, with branches covered in fruits. They are like the fruits of economic, trade, and investment cooperation among the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries, very sweet and fragrant. ”Zhao Fawu, the project manager of the power station, said. A technological handshake spanning 100 acres of land across mountains and rivers, with 6000 experimental varieties. Under the scorching sun, Sun Deling squinted his eyes and looked towards the vast expanse of cauliflower in the distance. As the chief expert of Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Sun Deling walks through this field almost every day. Only plants with the most suitable traits will be selected and eventually cultivated into varieties suitable for agricultural conditions in SCO countries such as Pakistan and India, helping local farmers increase production and income. Crossing the field ridge step by step, Sun Deling's words are always inseparable from cauliflower. Pakistan, India and other countries have rich terrain, with high mountains and plains, so it is necessary to select seeds based on local conditions. This ridge is a variety, "he pointed to a few cauliflower plants beside him and said. For over 40 years, Sun Deling has been dealing with cauliflower, but it is only in recent years that the seeds he cultivates have gone overseas. At the 2015 Asian Seed Conference, the research achievements of Sun Deling's team sparked the interest of representatives from countries such as India and Pakistan. After a few successful trials, cooperation was put on the agenda. But after visiting the local area, Sun Deling's team discovered new challenges. Due to relatively backward agricultural facilities and planting techniques, even high-quality seeds specially bred for local climate and soil conditions have a much lower survival rate and low seedling efficiency compared to domestic ones. One acre of land in the local area requires about half a dozen seeds, which is three times the amount of seeds used domestically, "said Sun Deling. Professional technicians began to station overseas in batches to provide technical guidance on local planting. At the same time, Sun Deling has also collaborated with several universities in Pakistan on remote teaching, teaching vegetable breeding courses to local university students. Nowadays, in the field of cauliflower, the "Jin Pin 66" cultivated by Sun Deling's team has become one of the main introduced varieties in many countries. From a few dozen pounds at the beginning to an expected 11 tons this year, more and more partners from Pakistan and India have recognized seeds from the East. In recent years, the scientific and technological cooperation between China and the SCO countries has been continuously deepened, and the mutual learning of technologies in multiple fields such as agriculture, energy, and chemical industry has brought benefits to both sides. The 9th Science and Technology Ministers' Meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states held in June this year proposed goals such as strengthening the mechanism for scientific and technological innovation cooperation and jointly addressing global challenges in science and technology governance. Represented by Tianjin, the host city of this year's SCO summit, the story of scientific and technological cooperation continues to be written. In the Chemical Remote Smart Laboratory of the School of Chemical Engineering at Tianjin University, students from Russia and other countries are conducting experimental operations through the internet. This 24-hour online laboratory is open to universities in multiple SCO countries, and can be accessed through online application
