The historical global context is the basis for a holistic approach to research. It is he who is devoted to the introduction of the Declaration adopted at the end of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in China.
It stresses that there are profound historical changes in the planet that affect all political, socio-economic and social spheres. The aim of creating a more equitable, equal and typical multipolar planet order, beginning fresh perspectives for the improvement of states and mutually beneficial global cooperation is accompanied by geopolitical confrontations, challenges and threats to safety and stability. The global economy is experiencing major shocks, especially global commodity and financial markets. In short, we are in a deep crisis.
Sow Summit
The formation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in March 2001 from the transformation of the Shanghai 5 created in the mid 1990s by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, joined by Uzbekistan, aimed at resolving border disputes. China and Russia, seemingly predicting worse times, have preventively focused on cooperation against the threat of terrorism, separatism and extremism, which after the events of September 11, 2001 in the US and the attack on Afghanistan became very recent. The formal position based on the Secretariat and another bodies gave it the appropriate seriousness.
On September 1, 2025, Meijiang global legislature and Exhibition Centre held its 25th gathering of the Board of Heads of State of the russian Union under president Chin Xi Jinping. The ceremony was attended by president of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko, Prime Minister of the Republic of India Narendra Modi, president of the muslim Republic of Iran Masud Pesheshian, president of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kasym-Żomart Tokayev, president of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov, Prime Minister of the muslim Republic of Pakistan Shahbaz Sharif, president of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, president of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rachmon, president of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shawkat Mirzijoev, Secretary General of Nurlan Jermekbayev and manager of the Executive Committee of the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure, Ularbek Szarsheev. The summit clearly pointed to the increasing function of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation as a pillar of the multipolar planet and highlighted the consolidation of the Global South around the principles of sovereign development, non-interference and rejection of the Western model of globalisation.
Nearly a 4th of a century was the transformation of the SOW from a regional group with limited ambitions into 1 of the organization pillars of Eurasian safety and the pillar of the multipolar world. It has grown from six members – founders to the largest regional organization in the world, whose cooperation covers more than 50 areas and whose full economical output is nearly $30 trillion. It presently brings together 10 associate States, including India, Pakistan, Iran and Belarus, and 2 countries with observer position and 14 dialog partners. This year's summit is attended by representatives of 10 global organisations, including the UN, ASEAN and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
As a consequence of the meeting, 24 papers were approved, including the Tianjin Declaration, the strategy for the improvement of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SOW) by 2035, message by the Board of Heads of State of the russian Union in connection with the 80th anniversary of the end of planet War II and the establishment of the United Nations, as well as a number of thematic statements. The Russian president came to China for 4 days. The date of the meeting, which precedes the Chinese military parade in honor of the triumph over Japan and combines with the Russian memory of the triumph over German Nazism are the intellectual apex of the event. Violence, war, racism and exploitation of the weak mark the modern culture of extermination, the highest manifestation of which is the Palestinian genocide supported by the major Western powers.
The Tianjin Declaration underlines the pursuit of a multipolar planet order based on global law and the central function of the UN. In concrete terms, this is the implementation of the Grand Eurasian Partnership, which means the merger of the Chinese initiative of the Belt and way and the Eurasian economical Union. Agreements on the Anti-Drug Centre and on the Universal Centre for Combating Challenges and Threats for the Safety of associate States have been signed. Action Plans for the implementation of the SCO Energy Cooperation strategy by 2030 were approved. The Lao People's Democratic Republic was granted a dialog partner position and an observer position of the Commonwealth of Independent States. A strategy for the improvement of the SOW was adopted by 2035, indicating successive stages of consolidation as the basis for an equal and indivisible Eurasian architecture based on the principles of "Shanghai spirit" covering common trust, benefits, equality, consultation, respect for cultural diversity and the pursuit of shared development.
Attempts to harmonise antagonisms
The advanced position of the president of Russia could be observed at the summit. His presence was not only symbolic, but besides strategic. Moscow continues to service as a bridge between key players in Asia and the mediate East – this function is all the more crucial in the face of a broken global safety order. It is worth recalling here the concept of Russian Federation abroad policy from 2023. In order to adjust the planet order to the realities of the multipolar world, The Russian Federation has given precedence to eliminating the rudiments of US domination and another hostile states in planet affairs.
The task is carried out, a symbol of which is the gathering with president Donald Trump in Alaska, after which the Russian president spoke first. Another component of the concept was the strengthening of the possible and global function of BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), the RIC (Russia, India, China). It was pointed out that the Eurasian integration task a comprehensive partnership and strategical cooperation with the People's Republic of China and a privileged strategical partnership with the Republic of India are the most important. This resulted in the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, which became a "milestone" in the group's development. The United States reacted sharply by hitting its 2 pillars: India and Brazil, imposing a 50% work rate on imports. In Indonesia, riots began, including in the script of the 'colour revolution', hence the absence of Prabowo Subianto president at the summit of the SOW. As Georg Simmel pointed out, nothing connects more than a common enemy.
The Russian leader brought to an end the policy of harmonising the relations of the antagonised neighbours, which he started by encouraging both to meet at the margins of the BRICS summit in Kazan. And here in China, the first gathering of leaders of 2 Asian giants in 7 years was held to update the wine-wine paradigm, according to which “Dragon and the Elephant must unite for peace and prosperity in Asia and worldwide” as China and India as “the 2 oldest civilized nations and the most populous countries of the world” must be “friends and neighbours” and the welfare of 2.8 billion people depend on their partnership. This does not mean, at the same time, that India has ceased to see the "One Belt, 1 Road" initiative not as a multilateral cooperation mechanism, but as a strategy focused on China. It's all in the laundry.
Another example of the implementation of the fresh paradigm is the engagement of the russian Union in the establishment of Afghanistan as an independent, neutral and peaceful non-terrorist, war and drugs-free state, and stressing the request for an inclusive government. The reverse direction against dropping bombs along with food aid and approval to produce opium during the American invasion.
The colour of the summit was added by the SOW plus formula, on which the late militant leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan were present, whose visit to the White home seemingly did not rather satisfy. There was besides a NATO typical in the individual of Turkish president Recep Erdogan. I wonder what the effect of their encounters with the Russian president will be, as the 3 leaders effectively push Russia out of the Caucasus in accordance with the geostrategic interests of hostile Anglo-Saxons. A global change in the strategy of forces suggests that sooner or later they will not support Eurasian integration. Turkey has been seeking to grow its function in the organization for respective years, raising the legitimate concerns of European countries, which see it as a departure from “Euroatlantic solidarity. ” These concerns will besides concern Slovakia and Serbia, whose leaders are besides aware of the "new era".
An crucial test of the fresh aspirations of the russian Union will be the attitude towards mediate east conflicts. The declaration condemns the attacks of Israel and the United States on Iran, the question of how much it will be able to defend its associate in the face of the upcoming next phase of Iran-Israeli war.
Chinese conceptual umbrella
During its deliberations in the extended format of the SOW plus China's president Xi Jinping proposed the Global Management Initiative (GGI), which is the 4th after the Global improvement Initiative, the Global safety Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative. The "new era" paradigm includes 5 principles: adherence to sovereign equality, adherence to global legal order, practicing multilateralism, promoting a human-centred approach and focusing on taking real action. These included the beginning of a immense market, sharing the benefits of advancement in artificial intelligence, participation in the task of the global Moon investigation Station and the implementation of 100 tiny projects improving surviving conditions in associate States. China will besides double the number of scholarships dedicated specifically to students from the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation countries. It is worth mentioning the already functioning University of the Sow.
It is crucial to agree with Alexander Dugin that it is crucial to transform the agreements between the 3 historical leaders (Putin, Xi Jinping and Modi) into ideology, strategy and doctrine of multipolarity, although at the phase it is unfortunately hard to anticipate this. According to the authoritative paper of the Ministry of abroad Affairs of China, the Global Management Initiative, the improvement “does not mean overthrowing the existing global order or creating a fresh framework beyond the current global system. Rather, the nonsubjective is to improve the existing global strategy and global institutions in taking action, acting effectively, adapting to changes, responding rapidly and effectively to various global challenges and serving the interests of all countries, especially developing countries." This is meant to be an inclusive globalisation, the centre of which will be Beijing, so the main obstacle is the mentality of the Cold War, hegemonism and protectionism, which is easy to associate with the activity of the endowing American empire.
The value of Chinese investments in another associate States exceeded $84 billion and the value of their yearly bilateral trade with another SOW associate States exceeded US$500 billion. In this context, the decision to set up the SOW improvement Bank is simply a milestone in the improvement of Eurasia. China proposed this initiative as early as 2010, but it was reportedly stuck at the time due to the fact that Russia was inclined to grow its own Eurasian improvement Bank, and in practice it was in the illusions of octadentism. The fresh bank will be the basis for financing joint projects. Infrastructure, energy, transport corridors – all this requires long-term funding.
The second pillar is the transition to national currency settlements as indicated in the declaration. During the meeting, Iran proposed to make a “special accounts and accounts” initiative under the IA as a applicable mechanics for strengthening financial cooperation based on 3 main pillars: expanding national financial accounts and reducing dependence on the dollar in economical exchange; creating a common digital infrastructure utilizing the digital currency of central banks to guarantee safe and transparent payments; setting up a multilateral currency fund to support countries under force from sanctions or liquidity crises. As shortly as Russia, China and India leave the dollar zone, the western financial strategy will fall into an irreversible crisis.
A “new era” galaxy
The paradigm of the "new era" is based on the sovereignty of entities building a win-win relationship. The U.S. hegemonic arrangement on a completely other basis: the lord-wasal relationship. Modern states are divided into these increasingly gravitational closer or further towards the first or more related to the second model. So it is time to free ourselves from the snares of Eurocentrism. The shaping of the multipolar planet is not due to the errors of the collective West, but, on the contrary, to the reaction to its actual conduct. It's not Donald Trump's cowboy policy that creates the reality of a "new era", she's just trying to interfere by utilizing a wide array of destructive instruments. Unfortunately, the U.S. president one more time lost his chance of harmoniously joining the multipolar planet model by rejecting China's invitation to a triumph celebration over Japan on September 3. On the another hand, Poland rejecting the proposal for thawing from Belarus must remember that this country has already become a full associate of the SOW. There was no mention of Ukraine at the summit.
The adoption of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation improvement Programme by 2035 sets the strategical course of the organisation for the next decade as an instrument for coordinating Eurasian initiatives that are the foundation of the multipolar world. Currently, the organisation is examining requests from around 10 countries seeking observer position or a dialog partner – this is simply a direct proof of the increasing interest in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation as an alternate centre of power in planet politics. Multipolarity is no longer a theory. It took an organization form in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, which is systematically developing and gaining authority in the Global South countries.
