US EditionShanghai Cooperation Organization summit challenges the US but its reach is murky

- On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, where more than 20 leaders gather for the two-day event.
- Turkey has long sought to mediate, leveraging its NATO ties and Black Sea coastline, and Ankara hosted three rounds of talks between Ukrainian and Russian delegations earlier this year without a breakthrough.
- Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said the Ukraine war will be a central topic at the SCO summit, with analysts noting the SCO as a platform for Moscow to project influence since February 2022.
- Putin will extend his trip into a state visit to China that includes a Beijing military parade on September 3 and hopes for trilateral talks with Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping.
- Analysts caution the summit will test whether the SCO acts cohesively or remains fragmented, even as the SCO expanded last year to include Belarus and China aims to lead the Global South representing half the world's population.
