About 2,000 volunteers are preparing for the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in the east China city of Qingdao.
During the 18th summit of the SCO, scheduled to be held in June in the coastal city in Shandong Province, the volunteers will offer services such as assisting with guests' arrival and departure, translation, and media requests.
A launch ceremony for the volunteer program was held on Thursday, during which 700 volunteers took an oath.
