CGTN: How the SCO opens up opportunities for regional development as it turns 25

CGTN marked the SCO’s 25-year milestone with an analysis of how the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation has shifted from a security-focused mechanism into a broader regional cooperation platform. The report says the grouping now covers areas including economic development and technological innovation, and it highlights China’s role in helping advance cooperation across the organization. The piece also ties the discussion to on-the-ground energy change in Uzbekistan, in Jizzakh’s Gobi Desert region, where a large solar farm has been built. Tens of thousands of photovoltaic panels are generating clean power and reshaping the local landscape.
