Statement by the Deputy Prime Minister\/Foreign Minister at the SCO Council of Heads of Government Meeting (Expanded Format)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations to\u00a0 Excellency Mikhail Mishustin, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Chairman of the SCO Council of Heads of Government, on the successful holding of the SCO CHG meeting this morning.<\/p>\n

The Joint Communiqu\u00e9 and other important documents being adopted today will go a long way in guiding and strengthening our efforts, for achieving shared objectives of prosperity of our people.<\/p>\n

The agenda before us – spanning trade, economy, culture, and humanitarian cooperation – is the basis of a mature, future-oriented SCO.<\/p>\n

Pakistan views them as interconnected threads in a single, stronger fabric of regional partnership.<\/p>\n

The Tianjin Summit was a clear signal. A signal that our Organization is evolving with the resolve to harness the full spectrum of our collective potential.\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

By focusing on economic integration through expanded trade collaboration, improved infrastructure connectivity, investment partnerships, advancement of cross-border trade corridors, and the promotion of digital economic development, the SCO has established a foundation for sustainable economic progress throughout the SCO space.<\/p>\n

The SCO is well placed to promote regional cooperation in dealing with emergency situations and to extend cooperation in the humanitarian field among ourselves and for others in need.<\/p>\n

Pakistan has developed a technology-driven, proactive disaster management system. We are keen to organize simulation exercises with SCO partners to bolster disaster preparedness across the region.<\/p>\n

Our discussions at Tianjin underscored the need to modernize our outreach. The value of our Observer and Partner States is immense.<\/p>\n

Let us move from a model of passive observation to one of real \u201cengagement\u201d.<\/p>\n

Let us invite them to participate not as guests on the periphery, but as stakeholders in specific, project-based initiatives that align with their expertise and our collective goals.<\/p>\n

This way we can create a flexible, multi-tiered model of cooperation that would benefit all.<\/p>\n

An important feature of the modernization of the SCO is the introduction of English as a working language. Let us move forward from political declarations and establish Translation Units. The SCO can attract more partners and achieve wider global influence with this only one step.<\/p>\n
