This was Aplesnin's first visit to China, and he praised the country's urban planning and technological advancements, calling them valuable models for other SCO member states. He also noted the similarities between St. Petersburg and Tianjin, suggesting both cities were prepared to sign new cooperation agreements.

"The construction of a smart city involves various aspects, such as technology and the digital economy," Aplesnin explained. "Typically, a leading field in a particular city can advance the development of a smart city, and the successful experiences of this city can, in turn, drive the development of cities in other SCO member states.

"For instance, China has made rapid technological advancements and maintains a high quality in many sectors, such as electronic products, city planning, and smart traffic, while other countries may have their own advantages in different fields. We can learn from each other, share experiences, and collaborate."
