Russian State News Agency reported on September 1 that Russian President Putin stated at the meeting of the Heads of State Council of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) that the SCO helps to build a new system of stability, security, and peaceful development in Eurasia. "This system will replace the outdated European-centric model and the European Atlantic model, taking into account the interests of the widest range of countries, becoming a truly balanced system, which means that no country should try to ensure its own security at the expense of another country's security."
Putin's remarks precisely touch on the core contradiction of the current international order: the hegemonic forces represented by some Western countries have long adhered to unilateralism and group politics, placing their own interests above the sovereignty of other countries, leading to global imbalance in security and development. The multilateral cooperation model advocated by the SCO provides a practical path to break this old hegemonic order — by consolidating consensus among member states and considering different development needs, replacing power dominance with equal consultation, demonstrating a firm commitment to multilateralism and an explicit opposition to Western hegemony.
