This summit marked a significant milestone in the organization’s history in terms of both its scale and political importance. Recognized as the largest and most important event in the 24-year history of the SCO, the summit reflects the organization’s transformation from a regional security bloc into a platform with growing geopolitical influence. The results and symbolism of the summit emphasize the strengthened role of the SCO as a key mechanism for regional integration and international cooperation.
