國家治理governance

我們要堅持以實現共同發展繁榮為目標。“為國者以富民為本。”在世界經濟前景不確定性增加、有關國家貿易保護主義抬頭的情況下，本組織要在互利共贏基礎上，深挖區域合作潛力，共創合作機遇，增強成員國經濟發展內生動力和抗風險能力。

We need to take common development and prosperity as our goal. "The primary task of governance is to enrich the people." Given the increasing uncertainties in the world economy and resurgence of trade protectionism in some countries, the SCO should, in a win-win spirit, tap the potential of regional cooperation and jointly create opportunities for cooperation to increase the member states’ inherent development momentum and their capability to fend off risks.

We need to increase understanding between our people, which is the very purpose of our work. “People, if united, will be stronger.” The SCO’s future, above all, is in the hands of the people of the SCO members. We need to support friendly exchanges between business communities, academia, media groups, think tanks, art groups and other communities, and expand our cultural and people-to-people exchanges to all dimensions. We need to enhance mutual understanding and traditional friendship between our people, so as to consolidate public support for the SCO development. We should actively explore new channels of cultural and people-to-people exchanges, build up the SCO's capability of international communication, and promote its ideals and principles. We should let the world know the "stories of the SCO" and hear the "voice of the SCO."
