The summit in question is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which is meeting in Kyrgyzstan in the year it celebrates its 25th anniversary. The event brings together world leaders such as Russia's Vladimir Putin, China's Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian.

Among the main topics under discussion are the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, which continue to shape international geopolitics. The organization also addresses the issue of sanctions imposed on Iran, a country that has been strengthening its position within the bloc.

Another important point on the agenda is the situation of Russian gas pipelines, which assume strategic relevance for several members of the organization. The SCO, which was founded in 2000, has been expanding its influence in recent years, becoming a relevant forum for cooperation among its member nations.
