PRAGMATIC COOPERATION ON ANTI-TERROR CAMPAIGN

China and Russia share the opinion on coordinated efforts under the framework of the UN to fight global terrorism. As member states of the SCO, in particular, the two countries have long been calling for joint work within the mechanism to promote stability and security in the Eurasia region.

During a meeting with Putin on the sidelines of a UN climate change conference in Paris, Xi said China stands ready to work with Russia to combat terrorism and uphold the common interest of the world.

In the face of the complicated global and regional situation, China has urged the SCO, in pursuit of the Security Concept for Asia, to take as priority maintaining stability and eradicating potential security threats in the region.

At the Ufa summit of the bloc, Xi and Putin, together with leaders of other member states, agreed to jointly respond to conventional and non-conventional challenges and threats, and pledged to intensify fight against the "three evil forces" of terrorism, separatism and extremism.

As terrorist groups use the Internet to release videos, disseminate extremism and recruit fighters, SCO member states held their first anti-online terror drill in China in mid October.
