On 10 February 2026, representatives of the Secretariat of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization visited the headquarters of the China-Eurasia Economic Cooperation Fund (CEECF) in Beijing.

During the talks with CEECF CEO Chen Zhou, SCO Secretariat Counsellor Iskander Baitasov outlined cooperation within the Organization in the trade and economy, investment and financial spheres, highlighting priority tasks related to the implementation of the decisions of the SCO Tianjin Summit (1 September 2025) and other important agreements reached by the leaders of the member states.

Special attention was paid to discuss the prospects of CEECF’s participation in the Organization’s project activities, as well as the practical cooperation with partners within the framework of the SCO Member States Investors Association and other platforms.

Chen Zhou informed about the Fund’s priorities and strategy. Established by the initiative of the Government of the People’s Republic of China, the Fund serves as a platform for direct investment focused on the SCO region. The CEECF expressed interest in practical cooperation aimed at establishing ties with partners and co-investors from the “SCO community” countries, aligning prospective projects with the involvement of financial capital, including those implemented in a multilateral format, as well as holding joint public events.

China-Eurasia Economic Cooperation Fund (CEECF) is a state direct investment platform, with the Export-Import Bank of China as its majority shareholder. The launch of the CEECF was announced by President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping in September 2014 at the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO in Dushanbe. The Fund’s priority investment areas include energy resources and downstream industries, agricultural development, logistics, infrastructure, information technology, manufacturing and other sectors. Currently the target investment capacity of the CEECF is USD 5 billion.
