With the active promotion and resource coordination of Qingdao Publishing Group, the bookshelf function has been continuously enhanced, and it has actively played the role of a cultural window for the “SCO National Bookshelf”. Multiple bookstores have jointly hosted thematic book exhibitions and “Reading Festival” activities related to SCO member countries. The events featured various forms, including books, photography, paintings, and VR experiences, vividly showcasing the rich historical and cultural heritage and modern development achievements of the SCO countries. These activities provided citizens with an in-depth cultural window to better understand the SCO member countries.
As an important participant in the project, Qingdao Publishing Group has played a positive role in content selection, platform building, and event organization. In the future, the project will continue to enrich its resources, deepen cultural exchanges and cooperation with multiple countries, and aim to make the “SCO National Bookshelf ” a Silk Road link that connects people’s hearts with the fragrance of books and promotes mutual understanding among civilizations.
