On 13 November 2026, a meeting was held at the Secretariat of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Beijing between Deputy Secretary-General Oleg Kopylov and a delegation of the Shanghai University of Political Science and Law headed by Rector Zheng Shaohua.
The parties held a lively exchange of views on current issues of interaction in the scientific-expert and educational spheres of cooperation within the SCO. They noted many years of productive work of the China-SCO International Legal Training and Cooperation Center, established at the University in 2013 at the initiative of China’s President Xi Jinping in the interests of strengthening the Organisation's normative-legal framework and training qualified personnel for the member states.
The University delegation presented the "Oral History of the SCO" project – a documentary film recounting the history of the Organisation's development on the basis of interviews of senior representatives of member states actively involved in its activities. A fragment of the film, which is still in the process of being produced, was shown.
A framework document was signed between the Secretariat and the China-SCO International Legal Training and Cooperation Center, aimed at promoting interaction in areas of mutual interest.
