From July 23 to 27, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Media and Think Tank Summit was held in Zhengzhou, Henan Province.

On July 26, over 100 guests embarked on a field visit to Luoyang, immersing themselves in the vitality and pulse of this millennium-old ancient capital. As a pivotal cradle of Chinese civilization, an ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, one of the Eastern starting points of the Silk Road, and a central city along the Grand Canal of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luoyang boasts over 5,000 years of civilization, nearly 4,000 years of urban history, and more than 1,500 years as a capital.

Additionally, it serves as an important traditional industrial base prioritized by the People's Republic of China. During the first Five-Year Plan (1953-1957), seven of 156 key national projects were launched there.
