President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has departed on an official visit to China on Friday, at the invitation of President Xi Jinping to participate in the ‘Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’ (SCO) Summit.

The SCO is a regional body focused on political, economic, and security matters across Eurasia. It was formed in 2001 by six nations: China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
As the world's largest regional organisation in terms of geographic scope and population, SCO has now expanded to 10 member states, with several more engaged as observers or dialogue partners. The Maldives is a dialogue partner of SCO.
