THE PRACTICE OF THE "THREE INITIATIVES": SAUDI-IRANIAN RECONCILIATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCO

Published 2023-06-20

Abstract

Safety is the premise of development, development is the power of safety, civilization is the soil of development and safety, and development and safety are the means of continuous evolution and progress of civilization. The initiatives on global development, global security and global civilization have injected stability and positive energy into global governance and world order. The reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran is a representative example of the "three initiatives" in practice. Following the signing of the reconciliation agreement, Saudi Arabia also declared itself to be a "dialogue partner" of the SCO, which undoubtedly injected new strength into the future expansion and sustainable development of the SCO. Under the three initiatives, there will certainly be more converging interests and cooperation consensus among Saudi Arabia, Iran and China as well as among SCO member states. As more projects are signed and implemented, they will promote the development of SCO member states, observer states and even dialogue partners, improve people's livelihood, promote the building of a common destiny of the SCO and achieve sustainable development of the SCO.
