SCO at 25: Marching Forward in Unity

As an old Chinese saying goes, "No mountain or ocean can distance people who have shared aspirations." Founded in 2001, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has grown into a comprehensive regional organization with the world's widest geographical coverage, largest population and enormous development potential.

Over the past 25 years, SCO member states have consistently upheld the Shanghai Spirit, deepening cooperation in politics, security, economy and people-to-people exchanges. The SCO has blazed a trail for a new model of regional cooperation and set a fine example for a new type of international relations.

At the new starting point of its 25th anniversary, the SCO is forging ahead toward building a community with a shared future for humanity. To mark the occasion, People's Daily Online presents the documentary "SCO at 25: Marching Forward in Unity." Through 25 years of archival footage and real‑life stories interpreting the Shanghai Spirit, the documentary captures how the SCO translates consensus into concrete actions and pools forces for stability amid global shifts.
