上海合作組織成員國元首理事會第十八次會議將于6月9日至10日在山東省青島市舉行。中國國家主席習近平將主持會議并舉行相關活動。上海合作組織成員國、觀察員國領導人和有關國際組織負責人將應邀與會。

在此前的的上合組織峰會中，習近平主席引經據典闡述了“上海精神”以及開放合作的“上合聲音”。

上海精神Shanghai Spirit

“知者行之始，行者知之成。” “上海精神”催生了強大凝聚力，激發了積極的合作意愿，是上海合作組織成功發展的重要思想基礎和指導原則。

“Vision spurs action and is achieved through action.” The Shanghai Spirit has created powerful cohesion, stimulated the desire for cooperation, and it has become a source of inspiration that guides the growth of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

開放合作openness and cooperation

我們要堅持以擴大對外交流合作為動力。“他山之石，可以攻玉。”擴大對外交往、吸收新鮮血液，是上海合作組織自身發展壯大的需要，也符合本組織一貫奉行的開放包容方針。

We need to expand external exchanges and cooperation, which is a driving force of our growth. “Jade can be polished by stones from other hills.” To expand external exchanges and bring in new members serve the need of a growing SCO that is inherently open and inclusive.

團結、安全和穩定unity, security and stability

“利莫大于治，害莫大于亂。”維護地區安全穩定是上海合作組織合作的優先方向。

“Nothing is more beneficial than stability, and nothing is more detrimental than chaos.” Maintaining security and stability in our region is the priority of SCO cooperation.

——2016年6月24日，習近平在上合組織元首理事會第十六次會議上的講話

哈薩克斯坦有句諺語，“有團結的地方，定有幸福相隨”。“上海精神”產生的強大凝聚力是本組織發展的保證。

As a saying in Kazakhstan goes, where there is solidarity, happiness will follow. The Shanghai Spirit has inspired a strong sense of solidarity which ensures the growth of the SCO.

國家治理governance

我們要堅持以實現共同發展繁榮為目標。“為國者以富民為本。”在世界經濟前景不確定性增加、有關國家貿易保護主義抬頭的情況下，本組織要在互利共贏基礎上，深挖區域合作潛力，共創合作機遇，增強成員國經濟發展內生動力和抗風險能力。

We need to take common development and prosperity as our goal. "The primary task of governance is to enrich the people." Given the increasing uncertainties in the world economy and resurgence of trade protectionism in some countries, the SCO should, in a win-win spirit, tap the potential of regional cooperation and jointly create opportunities for cooperation to increase the member states’ inherent development momentum and their capability to fend off risks.

人文交流cultural exchange

我們要堅持以促進民心相通為宗旨。“民齊者強。”上海合作組織的未來，最終掌握在本組織各國人民手中。我們要支持商界、學界、媒體、智庫、文藝團體等各行各界，全方位開展友好交往和人文交流，增進各國人民相互了解和傳統友誼，筑牢本組織發展的社會民意基礎。我們要積極開辟人文合作新渠道，加強上海合作組織國際傳播能力建設，弘揚上海合作組織主旋律，向世界講述更多“上合故事”，發出更多“上合聲音”。

We need to increase understanding between our people, which is the very purpose of our work. “People, if united, will be stronger.” The SCO’s future, above all, is in the hands of the people of the SCO members. We need to support friendly exchanges between business communities, academia, media groups, think tanks, art groups and other communities, and expand our cultural and people-to-people exchanges to all dimensions. We need to enhance mutual understanding and traditional friendship between our people, so as to consolidate public support for the SCO development. We should actively explore new channels of cultural and people-to-people exchanges, build up the SCO's capability of international communication, and promote its ideals and principles. We should let the world know the "stories of the SCO" and hear the "voice of the SCO."
