implementation of the Agreement on International Road Transport
Facilitation and other documents on cooperation. The first China
International Import Expo will be held in Shanghai in November this
year and we welcome all parties to attend. The Chinese government

China-SCO local economic and trade cooperation, and will also set up
a committee on legal services for SCO member states to provide legal

environmental protection cooperation and other documents, ensure the
continued success of SCO brand projects such as youth exchange camps,
and guarantee solid progress in cooperation in education, science and
technology, culture, tourism, health, disaster relief, and media. Over the
next three years, China will provide 3,000 spaces on human resource
development and training programs for SCO member states in order
to enhance public understanding of and support for the SCO family.
China will also provide to all parties meteorological services through its
Fengyun-2 weather satellites.

cooperation with SCO observer states, SCO dialogue partners, and other
countries in our region, strengthen our partnerships with the United
Nations and other international and regional organizations, and engage
in dialogue with the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and
other international financial institutions.

this year’s summit. Here I wish to express my sincere thanks to you all.
China will continue to work with other SCO member states in the spirit
