The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) turns 25 as leaders gather in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, for this year's summit. What began in 2001 with six founding members has grown into a platform bringing together 10 member states and 17 SCO partners. Over the past 25 years, its cooperation has expanded well beyond regional security to include trade, energy, technology, culture and more. How has the SCO evolved? What does it hope to achieve at this year's summit? And what could its growing role mean for the region and beyond? Watch as we take a closer look at the SCO's journey and where it could be heading next.
