It is a summit designed to challenge the West's historical dominance of the world –hosting the likes of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
On Sunday, China hosted the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, a grand meeting of the leaders of 26 nations, many of them opposed to the US and Europe.
Putin and Chinese president Xi, who are closely allied under what they have termed a 'limitless' partnership, also held side talks to discuss the Russian leader's recent meeting with Donald Trump, a Kremlin official said.
Xi personally welcomed several leaders, including Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, before the delegates attended a formal reception.
Xi said China-India ties could be 'stable and far-reaching' if both sides focused on viewing each other as partners. 'China and India are cooperation partners, not rivals,' he said.
Russia's claims over Ukraine after its invasion in 2022, as well as China's over Taiwan and fears it will invade, have isolated both countries from Western and other democracies.
The SCO is a ten-member bloc of Eurasian nations, which includes Iran, India and Pakistan.
