President Xi Jinping noted that under our joint leadership, China-Kyrgyzstan relations have developed by leaps and bounds over recent years. Fruitful results in multifaceted cooperation have boosted the development of the two countries, benefited the two peoples, and contributed to regional peace, stability and prosperity. This year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the launch of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development. China is striving to build a great country and advance national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization. Kyrgyzstan is making all-out efforts to implement the country’s National Development Program until 2030. China is ready to work with Kyrgyzstan to better synergize development strategies, deepen experience sharing on governance and deliver more tangible and accessible outcomes through practical cooperation, so as to advance the China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future in depth and in substance.

President Xi Jinping stressed that the steady and sustained development of China-Kyrgyzstan relations is underpinned by high-level political mutual trust and unwavering mutual support. China firmly supports Kyrgyzstan in safeguarding sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and supports Kyrgyzstan in following a development path suited to its national conditions. China will work with Kyrgyzstan to continue rendering each other unwavering support on issues concerning each side’s core interests. The signing of the treaty between China and Kyrgyzstan on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation will provide an important legal foundation for the two countries to enjoy lasting friendship and unwavering mutual support.

President Xi Jinping pointed out that China and Kyrgyzstan should deepen bilateral practical cooperation, fully implement the intergovernmental trade and economic cooperation plan, expand the variety of traded goods, and cultivate new areas of growth such as digital trade and cross-border e-commerce. The two countries should pursue high-quality cooperation on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, a transportation artery carrying the region’s aspirations for development, move forward with the revamping of land ports, and deepen institutional connectivity of systems, standards and rules. The two countries should carry out more flagship projects in areas such as renewable energy and resource recycling and utilization, implement cooperation documents in green mining, and conduct cooperation across the entire industrial chain. The two countries should work together to ensure the success of the Belt and Road Joint Laboratory, step up cooperation in artificial intelligence and other areas, and improve the performance and efficiency of bilateral cooperation through sci-tech innovation. The two countries should also further promote personnel exchanges, strengthen cooperation in such areas as youth, media, tourism, sports, and medical care, and at subnational levels, so as to steadily consolidate the societal foundation of and popular support for China-Kyrgyzstan friendship.

President Xi Jinping noted that China and Kyrgyzstan should expand law enforcement and security cooperation, jointly fight against the three forces of terrorism, separatism and extremism, and combat drugs and transnational crimes, so as to uphold regional peace and stability through concerted efforts. China supports Kyrgyzstan in playing a greater role in international and regional affairs, and will work with Kyrgyzstan to further enhance coordination under the U.N. framework, jointly implement China’s four global initiatives, oppose hegemonism and power politics, stay committed to true multilateralism, uphold international fairness and justice, and make the global governance system more just and equitable. As the founding members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, China and Kyrgyzstan should work for the implementation of the outcomes of the Tianjin Summit, promote the shared development of this region, and take the SCO to new heights.

President Sadyr Zhaparov said that it is a great honor to receive President Xi Jinping on the 35th anniversary of the independence of Kyrgyzstan. This visit further demonstrates the profound friendship and high-level political mutual trust between Kyrgyzstan and China, and marks an important milestone in the development of bilateral relations. The signing of the treaty between Kyrgyzstan and China on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation will open up broader prospects for bilateral relations. As neighbors, the two countries have been bound together by the ancient Silk Road. In recent years, with the rapid growth of the Kyrgyzstan-China comprehensive strategic partnership for the new era, the bilateral relationship has entered a golden period and reached the highest level in history. Kyrgyzstan is grateful for China’s selfless support and assistance at every critical moment in Kyrgyzstan’s development. Kyrgyzstan warmly congratulates the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the start of the implementation of the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan, admires China’s remarkable development achievements under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, and is keen to learn from China’s governance experience, in particular President Xi Jinping’s resolve to serve the people selflessly and live up to their expectations. China has always been a high priority in Kyrgyzstan’s foreign policy, and is Kyrgyzstan’s closest friend and most reliable partner. Kyrgyzstan firmly upholds the one-China principle, and is ready to deepen good-neighborliness and friendship with China on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. Kyrgyzstan will enhance cooperation with China in such areas as trade, investment, connectivity, sci-tech innovation, energy, mining and green economy, step up exchanges in areas including education, health, culture and youth, and jointly combat terrorism, separatism and extremism to uphold regional security. Kyrgyzstan is ready to actively advance the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, to make it a “steel and iron Silk Road” of the new era and a new bond of Kyrgyzstan-China friendship. The four global initiatives put forward by President Xi Jinping can help countries jointly address common challenges, and make the international order more just and stable. Kyrgyzstan will enhance coordination with China on multilateral platforms including the U.N, the SCO, the China-Central Asia mechanism, and the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, to jointly uphold world peace and stability.
