Chinese State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong on Tuesday called on Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states to deepen practical cooperation on law enforcement and security, and to promote the development of a closer SCO community with a shared future.

Wang made the remarks when attending the 20th Meeting of the Security Council Secretaries of the SCO Member States, where he delivered a keynote address. He noted that China stands ready to work with all member states to make new and greater contributions to the security and stability of the region and the world at large.

The Global Security Initiative, which was proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, advocates a new path for security that features dialogue over confrontation, partnership over alliance, and win-win results over zero-sum outcomes, Wang said. China is willing to implement this initiative alongside all member states, vigorously promoting the "Shanghai Spirit."

Wang put forward a five-point proposal at the meeting, calling on SCO member states to practice true multilateralism and provide solutions to global challenges, remain committed to sharing weal and woe and shielding against interference from forces outside the region, focus on common concerns and enhance regional counter-terrorism capabilities, improve cooperation mechanisms and strengthen their platform combating emerging transnational crimes, and deepen exchange to provide experience for the development of a global community of security for all.
