From the news:
『此次会议适逢上海合作组织新10年发展的开局之年及上海合作组织首个“睦邻友好年”。』

Maybe the "(is) XX (for)" structure is overdoing it.

Editor: It's about coincidence, but not necessarily a timely or fortunate coincidence ~
1) 春天分娩的母亲孕期的最后阶段适逢冬季,因此她摄入的维生素要比夏季时少。
That's more like "... *just at the time when* she is approaching the end of her pregnancy, she will consume fewer vitamins"
2) 美国大选在即,却适逢严重的金融危机,谁都不想接这个“烫手的山芋”。
