The SCO Expert Forum has opened in Bishkek, with Russia’s Rossiya Segodnya media group and China’s Xinhua News Agency taking part in the launch. The event is being held during the Kyrgyz Republic’s presidency of the Organization, placing Bishkek at the center of the current SCO agenda.
The opening underlines the role of major media institutions in supporting discussion around regional issues linked to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. By inaugurating the forum together, Rossiya Segodnya and Xinhua highlighted a cooperative approach to a gathering focused on expert dialogue.
Bishkek’s hosting of the SCO Expert Forum also reflects Kyrgyzstan’s active role during its term at the helm of the Organization. With the presidency providing the broader framework, the forum serves as one of the public-facing events connected to that leadership period.
While only limited details were available, the launch itself points to continued interest in building platforms for analysis and exchange within the SCO space. The Bishkek forum brings attention to the intersection of regional diplomacy, expert discussion and international media cooperation.
