Overview

  • The two-day meeting in Tianjin runs Aug. 31–Sept. 1 with about twenty heads of state and government in attendance.
  • Vladimir Putin arrived Sunday, joining Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi for plenary sessions and a series of bilateral talks.
  • India has said it will not sign the summit’s joint declaration, citing the draft’s omission of an April 22 attack on tourists in Indian‑administered Kashmir.
  • Organizers expect a common declaration, a roadmap for the SCO through 2035, and commemorative statements tied to World War II and the UN’s 80th anniversaries.
  • China will cap the diplomacy with a Sept. 3 military parade in Beijing that official messaging casts as a show of strength aligned with a pledge of peace, with Putin and Kim Jong Un expected to attend.
