On July 3-4, Astana is set to
host the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), where heads of
state and governments of member countries are expected to sign a series of strategic
documents, including the Astana Declaration and the document «On Global Unity
for a Just World and Harmony». The latter is Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev’s initiative, which he announced at the SCO Heads of State Council meeting
last year. The document’s development is nearing completion, aiming to promote
the consolidation of international efforts to resolve conflicts in various
regions of the world. Ambassador-at-Large of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry and
National Coordinator for the SCO Murat Mukushev announced this in an interview
with the Silk Way TV channel. According to him, the document covers security
issues, establishing durable peace, economic cooperation, and environmental
protection. The thematic focus of the President’s initiative is closely tied to
the main agenda of the upcoming summit dedicated to the theme «Strengthening multilateral
dialogue – striving for sustainable peace and development», the country’s
Foreign Ministry notes.
«We deliberately chose this theme
for the SCO Plus meetings. The participant roster is quite extensive, featuring
over 20 heads of state, international organizations, and the UN
Secretary-General. The parties are expected to exchange opinions and
perspectives on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals as well as issues
of peace and security that have always been relevant to the global community.
Thus, we considered it necessary to address the current situation and develop
concrete proposals in an expanded format,» Mukushev said.
