Chinese President Xi Jinping and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian attended a summit in Kyrgyzstan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). The two-day event, which involves over a dozen other leaders, marks the 25th anniversary of the SCO, a regional bloc seeking to counter Western influence. The summit, which took place in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, comes amid the ongoing Ukraine and Iran conflicts, as well as trade disputes involving the US and China.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iranian President Pezeshkian, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif are expected to participate in a plenary session chaired by Kyrgyz leader Sadyr Japarov. The SCO, which includes Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Iran, four Central Asian countries, and Moscow-aligned Belarus, has historically focused on economic issues but has gained prominence under the leadership of Russia and China.
The US has warned Moscow and Beijing against arming Iran, with US sanctions on Iran intensifying in recent months.
