Further strengthen security cooperation mechanisms, play an important role in the "Four Security Centers", and promote the international community to uphold multilateralism together and promote universal security and lasting peace. Thirdly, the SCO should inspire strong innovation and transformation vitality. Strengthen cooperation in science, technology, and industrial innovation, promote cooperation in traditional and renewable energy sources. China welcomes active participation in the SCO Digital Economy Forum and China-SCO Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Forum, and is willing to jointly establish and utilize the China-SCO Digital Economy Cooperation Platform, Technology Innovation Cooperation Center, and solidly promote the addition of "ten million kilowatts of photovoltaic" and "ten million kilowatts of wind power" projects in the next five years. Li Keqiang pointed out that at the SCO summit in Tianjin, leaders approved the "SCO Strategy for the Next 10 Years". China is willing to work with all member states to pay more attention to strategic coordination, effectively promote cooperation implementation, optimize and improve operational mechanisms, further enhance cohesion, action, and influence, and continuously improve the SCO.
