In a speech that framed the world in terms of justice and injustice, President Vladimir Putin decried the current “discriminatory” global system and issued a call for a “fairer” order, championing the SCO as the key instrument for this change. His rhetoric cast the upcoming summit as a moral crusade.
He characterized Western sanctions not as a policy dispute, but as an act of discrimination that deliberately “hinders” the socioeconomic development of entire nations and blocs like BRICS. This language is designed to evoke a sense of injustice and rally support for his cause.
The solution he offers is a “fairer, multipolar world order.” This new system, he argued, would be grounded in the impartial application of “international law” and would feature an “equal and indivisible” security architecture, ensuring no nation could unjustly dominate another.
The SCO is presented as the vanguard of this movement. Putin expressed his hope that the summit would strengthen the organization’s capacity to fight for this fairer world. He is positioning the Tianjin gathering not just as a political meeting, but as a council for a more just and equitable era of international relations.
