Full coverage: President Xi Attends BRICS, SCO Summit

Now joining me in the studio is Liu Youfa, former President of the China Institute of International Studies. Welcome to the program, Mr. Liu.

Q1. A report recently released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences said China's "One Belt, One Road" initiatives share the same goals as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. Xi Jinping confirmed this in Ufa, saying there's a potential there for synergy. So how do you think SCO member states and countries involved in the "One Belt, One Road" initiatives can work together?

Q2. SCO leaders agreed last year to foster the SCO Development Bank. Given the fact that the "Belt and Road" initiatives have been brought up at this year's summit. Does this indicate that the SCO is exploring cooperation in a broader perspective?
