SCO‘s Tianjin Summit is actually marking a pretty major moment right now, as over 20 nations are gathering to discuss an unprecedented ruble yuan currency shift that could affect 80%+ of regional trade. The Putin & Modi summit for 2025 represents what experts are calling the largest coordinated effort by SCO member nations economic ties to establish alternative currency frameworks, and the Russia China trade deal discussions might actually reshape global commerce patterns in ways we haven’t seen before.

SCO Tianjin Summit Sees Putin, Modi Lead 20 Nations In Ruble-Yuan Shift to De-dollarization
The SCO’s Tianjin Summit is bringing together heads of state from more than 20 countries right now, with Chinese President Xi Jinping hosting discussions about the organization’s development and restructuring. China’s Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Bin had this to say:
“Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet with the heads of more than 20 foreign countries and ten international organizations on the banks of the Hai River to summarize the successful experience of the SCO, promote its development and restructuring, and unite its participants for cooperation and joint work.”
Actually, what’s happening at this SCO’s Tianjin Summit goes beyond just regular diplomatic meetings. The ruble yuan currency shift that leaders are discussing could fundamentally change how these nations conduct business with each other.

Strategic Leadership at SCO’s Tianjin Summit
The Putin-Modi summit in 2025 is demonstrating the strategic importance of this gathering, with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading discussions alongside other key figures. The ruble yuan currency shift proposals that leaders are discussing could actually alter how SCO member nations economic ties operate in global markets.
Even more interesting is how officials are outlining this Russia China trade deal framework at the summit. It’s focusing on establishing bilateral mechanisms that bypass traditional Western banking systems, which is pretty significant when you think about it.
Russia-China Trade Deal Framework
This framework of Russia-China trade currently being outlined at the SCO Tianjin Summit is active in institutionalizing bilateralism that largely flanks traditional western banking systems. Since direct economic cooperation between member states and the diminution of dependence on transactions in dollars can be achieved with the currency switch to the ruble yuan, that is indeed a great thing.

The conference is addressing concerns that SCO member countries can make sustainable economic partnerships among themselves through economic ties, focusing on trade on energy, trade of agricultural products as well as technology transfers, which are not subject to influences from outside the market.
