Cultural cooperation for common understanding

Cultural cooperation in the SCO can solidify the foundation and provide the long-lasting impetus for all-round cooperation.

The SCO member states' ministers of culture, education, science and health have conducted frequent dialogues and regular meetings, as cultural cooperation within the bloc has improved mutual understanding and won the public support.

One of the notable achievements is the operation of the regional education network of the SCO University, which involves more than 80 universities in the SCO member states and observers.

Moreover, the Russian proposal for setting up the SCO TV station would be put into operation at the beginning of this autumn. The special station is expected to broadcast information on different SCO activities, in particular economic and financial ones.

Many experts of the SCO countries have also called for increasing friendly communication among the youth, aiming to enhance mutual understanding and promote win-win cooperation.
