SCO summit highlights strength of Russia, China, India as three united poles of a four pole world
Newsweek also pointed to the leader’s “jovial” exchange on the event’s sidelines
The recent summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has made it clear that the leaders of Russia, China and India are the three united poles in this multipolar world comprising four main poles. Though a Western media outlet views this unity, being in opposition to the Western “world” order.
The magazine points out that the three leaders “hailed their new – and growing – alliances” at the summit.
Newsweek also pointed to their jovial exchange on the event’s sidelines. “Such a scene would have been almost unthinkable until recent weeks,” the media outlet notes, adding that all three leaders are now united in opposition to the Western “world order” dominated by the United States.
The SCO summit took place in the Chinese city of Tianjin between August 31 and
September 1. The organization currently has ten member states: Russia, Belarus,
India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Additionally, the SCO has two observer states, Afghanistan and Mongolia, and 14 dialogue partners: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Bahrain, Egypt, Cambodia, Qatar, Kuwait, the Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Sri Lanka.
