BEIJING, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily:
On May 23, at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Media Cooperation Forum of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Countries held in Urumqi, capital city of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, the International News Department of People's Daily and the Global Times Institute jointly released a report titled "Common Home: Public Opinion on the Development Visions in SCO Member States."
The report highlights broad public recognition of the Shanghai Spirit among SCO member states and reveals strong expectations for expanding cooperation in a range of sectors.
According to the findings, over 80 percent of respondents believe the SCO plays a positive role in global governance, while around 70 percent believe their countries have gained more opportunities to participate in global governance through the SCO framework. Over 60 percent agree that the SCO has contributed to their countries' sustainable development and modernization.
The survey also shows that over 90 percent of respondents believe that China's development experience provides insights for their countries, and an equal percentage affirm that cooperation with China benefits their national development.
The results underscore the enduring vitality of the Shanghai Spirit and reflect the deep aspirations of people across SCO countries for stronger regional cooperation.
This year is SCO's "China Year." As a founding member, China has engaged in extensive and pragmatic cooperation with fellow SCO countries. With a consistently open approach, China has been sharing its development philosophy and governance experience, offering growth opportunities and practical achievements to foster shared development across the region.
The survey, conducted across all 10 full SCO member states from March 31 to May 8, gathered more than 5,700 valid questionnaires in 11 languages, including Chinese, English, Russian, Persian, Urdu, and Kazakh. The report provides a comprehensive reflection of public opinion across diverse cultural backgrounds, offering a robust gauge of sentiment for building a closer SCO community with a shared future.
In today's increasingly turbulent international environment, the strong public expectation for multilateral cooperation among SCO member states stands out as particularly valuable.
