Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged Friday that China will push for the completion of 4,000 kilometers of railway and over 10,000 kilometers of highway within the SCO region in the next few years.

He made the pledge at the SCO summit at the ongoing SCO summit meeting in Ufa, Russia, adding that that by then, a layout of interconnected transportation will be basically in place.

He also called on the member states to deepen industrial capacity cooperation and push forward the building of industrial parks in every member state.

China is carrying out the three-year plan of training 2,000 personnel for the SCO member states, he said, adding that China will continue to provide technical assistance for them and help them enhance capacity building.

Xi urged SCO member states to expand people-to-people exchanges, saying that China will invite 200 young people from the SCO member states every year to participate in a youth exchange camp program, which will be held in China from 2016 to 2021.

China will complete its summer camp program for 2,000 primary and middle school students from other member states by 2018, he added.
