Starting from September 1, 2025, Kyrgyzstan will begin its fourth chairmanship in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), promoting the motto "25 Years of SCO - A Place for Peace and Prosperity." This slogan reflects the country's intention to strengthen peace, promote sustainable development, and expand economic cooperation. Among the key events in the upcoming period are the SCO summit in Bishkek and the activation of cultural and humanitarian ties between the member states.
