The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit began in Kyrgyzstan, with leaders including Xi, Putin and Modi attending. The two-day gathering is billed by some as a counterweight to US global influence, though reporting notes this characterization does not apply to all participating countries and the organisation is not officially anti-West.
Al Jazeera English provides extensive, detailed coverage framing the summit as an opportunity for Russia, China and India to promote a 'multipolar world' amid Trump's 'unilateral foreign policy' eroding the rules-based order, while including analyst caveats that the SCO is 'not a coherent anti-US, anti-Western alliance' and detailing internal frictions (India-Pakistan, India-China) alongside the counterweight framing.
France 24's coverage is brief and descriptive, framing the SCO summit as a gathering of China, Russia and other regional leaders 'pushing back' on US dominance, and noting the summit is 'billed as a counterweight to US influence' while caveating that this framing does not apply to all participating countries.
