  The 19th meeting of the defense ministers of the SCO member states was held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on August 24. State Councilor and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe attended the meeting and delivered a speech via video.

  Wei Fenghe said that human society is facing multiple crises and severe challenges that are rare in history. The more difficult the moment, the more critical it is, the more we must unite and overcome the difficulties together.

The global security initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping provides a correct solution for addressing international security challenges. China is willing to work with other countries to jointly safeguard international fairness and justice and world peace and tranquility.

Taiwan is China's Taiwan, and the Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs.

Earlier this month, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, visited Taiwan, China. China strongly opposed, severely condemned, and resolutely countered.

China's position has been widely understood and supported by more than 170 countries and international organizations in the world, which China appreciates.

  Wei Fenghe said that after continuous exploration and development, the SCO has become a model of harmonious coexistence and win-win cooperation among countries with different civilizations and systems, and has embarked on a successful path for a new type of regional organization.

The defense departments and militaries of the member states should establish the concept of a security community, lay a solid foundation for cooperation, improve the operational system, enrich the connotation of cooperation, continuously deepen the SCO defense and security cooperation, and work together to build a solid barrier to safeguard common security and universal security.
