During the meeting, Chinese leaders will collectively meet with the heads of delegations attending the conference. State Councilor Zhao Kezhi will chair the meeting. All parties will exchange in-depth opinions on issues such as the security situation in the SCO region, cooperation in cracking down on "three forces," drug trafficking, transnational organized crime, and safeguarding international information security.

We believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, this meeting will further consolidate the consensus of SCO member states on security cooperation and inject new impetus for cooperation among member states in the security field." To a question about the ROK-US joint military exercise, the spokesperson said," China's position on the peninsula issue is consistent.

We have always advocated that all parties involved can take concrete actions, build mutual trust, avoid mutual stimulation, and work together to reintegrate the Peninsula issue into the track of political dialogue. This requires all parties to act in tandem.
