‍Chinese President Xi Jinping will preside over the  Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Qingdao in east China's Shandong Province from June 9 to 10, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday. 

Regional security will dominate the summit, Wang told reporters during a media briefing. 

SCO member countries will formulate new measures to deal with shared security concerns, such as the so-called "Three Evil Forces" – referring to separatism, extremism and terrorism – as well as drug trafficking and cybercrimes, Wang said. 

In addition, the leaders will also look into international security challenges and seek a global solution to address the risks, he added. 

While answering a question raised by CGTN on how the host city Qingdao can cooperate with SCO members in the future, the city's Communist Party of China chief Zhang Jiangting briefed on preparations for the SCO summit. 

Zhang said: "We are working on a number of activities to promote trade and business exchanges. First, we are working on import exhibitions, building a platform to promote trade with SCO countries. We will expand imports from SCO members. Second, enhancing economic and trade cooperation. We will work with enterprise associations and committees to hold regular forums in Qingdao. We will make sure think tank alliance activities will be based in Qingdao. Third, we are working on the plan to comprehensively advance the One Belt One Road initiative. The focus will be on two-way investment and trade with Central and Southern Asia, and emerging market countries."

Meanwhile, China will also host the leaders of Russia, Iran, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan next month. 

Kyrgyz President Sooronbay Jeenbekov, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev and Russian President Vladimir Putin will pay state visits to China from June 6 to 10, Wang said.
