China is strengthening trade and investment ties with members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization as the group marks its 25th anniversary. From January to July, China issued more than 669,000 certificates of origin for trade with SCO countries, up 9.62% from last year. A large Chinese business delegation also visited Kyrgyzstan, where more than 300 representatives attended a China-Kyrgyzstan business forum. The two sides discussed new opportunities in trade, investment, green energy, transport connectivity and the digital economy, reaching several cooperation agreements. Credit : CGTN
