Eurasian nations gather in Bishkek to strengthen ties and new alliances

Euronews Portugal31 August 2026 at 21:18

Leaders of 21 global and emerging powers gather in Bishkek, in Kyrgyzstan, to participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit. The event brings together Eurasian nations at a time of profound geopolitical transformations.

The meeting takes place in a context marked by wars that weaken the established world order, creating uncertainties and challenges for multiple nations. International instability has led several countries to rethink their alliances and strategies.

In this scenario, intermediate powers seek to find a new economic and political impetus. These nations wish to strengthen their bilateral ties and form new alliances that can balance the growing influence of major powers.

China and Russia are identified as the predominant forces shaping the geopolitical landscape of the region, and many participating countries seek to define their positioning in response to this reality.
