The ancient “Silk Road” opened up a convenient channel of communication between eastern and western civilization, and it also cultivated the continuous Eurasian economic cooperation zone. On September 16 th, 2013, Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping put forward the“Silk Road economic belt” strategic vision in Kazakhstan’s speech. The construction of “Silk Road economic belt”is beneficial to form a new international political and economic pattern, to promote the construction of central Asia’s“harmonious region”, and to coordinate economy development of China’s eastern and western parts.The Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s member states are located in the only way which must be passed by three lines of the ancient “Silk Road”, and is a major land route access in connection with Eurasia. Therefore, it plays an important role in building the network node of connectivity infrastructure in the future of the “Silk Road economic belt”, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is playing an important role in building the “Silk Road economic belt”. Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s demonstrative effects in politics, security, economy and culture aspects are becoming more and more important after its establishment in 2001. From the policy coordination aspect, the Shanghai cooperation organization is not only to give members of mutual understanding and support by domestic policies, but also to safeguard the interests of member states in the world. From the facilities connectivity aspect, the Shanghai cooperation organization aims at promoting the integration of central Asia and even the Eurasia transport network, and playing a better coordinating role in the “Silk Road economic belt”. From the unimpeded trade aspect, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has signed all kinds of documents related to the regional economic cooperation, which will promote the facilitation of investment and trade cooperation between member states. From the financial integration aspect, the monetary cooperation between countries within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is mainly reflected in domestic currency settlement of cross-border trade, currency swaps, and the regionalization of RMB and Rouble. At the same time, the establishment and development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Development Bank will fund financial support and new power for financial cooperation of the member states. From people-to-people bond aspect, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is carrying forward the “Shanghai Spirit”, developing the cultural industry, promoting the construction of University of Shanghai Cooperation Organization, cultivating high-quality talents of inheriting and innovating the traditional culture.There are many challenges during the process of building the “Silk Road economic belt” and the main challenge comes from different aspects including the different national political systems and economic development levels, the complex internal and external environment during regional economic cooperation’s development in the future and intertwined multi-level regional economic cooperation mechanisms. For the sake of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s better promotion in the construction of the “Silk Road economic belt” in the future, we need to strengthen strategic communication between the member states; to build confidence andto dispel misgivings; to promote trade and investment facilitation, and to promote the regional economic cooperation gradually; to expand the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s member states timely, and to promote the international influence of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
