SCO Qingdao Summit

The 18th Meeting of the Council of Heads of Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was held in Qingdao, China, on June 9-10, 2018. This was the first summit after the expansion of the organization's membership. The heads of state and government from 12 countries and leaders of 10 international organizations attended the summit, making it the largest and most fruitful summit in SCO history attended by the highest-level leaders.

Xi Jinping summarized the SCO's growth over the previous 17 years and the experience gained, and made proposals and set the general course for the organization's future development. The participating leaders reviewed the implementation of the 2017 Astana Summit resolutions, and discussed the SCO's priority tasks against the backdrop of increasing problems arising in international politics and the world economy. The summit followed the Shanghai Spirit, shaped the sense of a community with a shared future, and refined the SCO approach to global governance.

The summit pledged, in the name of all SCO member states, observer states and dialogue partners, that the SCO would continue to follow the path of globalization and the path of cooperation for development. The Qingdao Summit marked a new start as the SCO began to transform from an organization of mainly landlocked Central Asian countries to one of regional cooperation between coastal and hinterland countries.
