Beijing summit to be 'fruitful'

THIS year's Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit is expected to produce fruitful results, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Cheng Guoping said in Beijing yesterday.

The 12th meeting of the Council of Heads of Member States takes place in Beijing on June 6-7.

Cheng said the summit will identify the direction for the SCO's development and major tasks for the next decade and adopt the Strategic Plan for the Medium-Term Development of the SCO in accordance with the consensus reached at the Astana summit, he said.

Cheng said significant outcome documents would be adopted.

"In the political field, we will adopt the Declaration on Building a Region with Lasting Peace and Common Prosperity, which will be the first political document of the SCO themed on building a harmonious region," he said.

In the security field, the amendments to the SCO Regulations on Political and Diplomatic Measures and Mechanism of Response to Events Jeopardizing Regional Peace, Security and Stability will be adopted, which will boost the SCO's ability to prevent and tackle emergencies.

In the economic field, member states will reach a new consensus on establishing multilateral financing guarantee mechanisms and speeding up transportation facilitation, he said.

China has been the SCO rotating president since last year's Astana summit in Kazakhstan.
