The upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in China is set to witness the presence of around 20 global leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The high-profile gathering will focus on regional security, economic cooperation, and strengthening multilateral ties among member states.

The SCO, which brings together countries from Eurasia, has become an important platform for dialogue on counterterrorism, connectivity, and trade. This year’s summit holds added significance as leaders are expected to discuss pressing global issues such as energy security and geopolitical tensions.

Apart from Modi and Putin, the event will also see participation from leaders of China, Pakistan, Central Asian nations, and other observer states. The gathering is being closely watched as it comes at a time of shifting alliances and challenges to global stability.

The presence of top leaders highlights the SCO’s growing importance as a forum for addressing strategic concerns and expanding cooperation across the region.
