President of the People’s Republic of China His Excellency Xi Jinping contends that the world requires a Central Asia that is not only stable, prosperous, and harmonious, but also well-connected.

His remarks came while delivering the keynote speech at the inaugural China-Central Asia Summit, which took place in Xian, Shaanxi Province, from May 18 to 19, 2023, and was titled “Working Together for a China-Central Asia Community with a Shared Future Featuring Mutual Assistance, Common Development, Universal Security, and
Everlasting Friendship.”

In the presence of Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Kyrgyzstan President Sadyr Zhaparov, Tajikistan President Emomali Rahmon, Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, and Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the Chinese leaders vowed that China would work closely to find ways to foster closer cooperation between China and the five Central Asian countries.

Noting that the globe is undergoing transformations not witnessed in a century, His Excellency emphasised the importance of a stable Central Asia. According to him, Central Asian countries’ sovereignty, security, independence, and territorial integrity must be protected.

“Their people’s choice of development paths must be respected; and their efforts for peace, harmony, and tranquillity must be supported,” he said.

“The world needs a prosperous Central Asia.,” he continued. “A dynamic and prospering Central Asia will help people in the region achieve their aspiration for a better life. It will also lend strong impetus to global economic recovery.”
He opined that the world needs a harmonious Central Asia, noting that ethnic wars, religious struggle, and cultural estrangement are not the region’s defining features.

Instead, he contends that solidarity, inclusiveness, and harmony are the pursuits of the Central Asian people.

“The world needs an interconnected Central Asia,” China’s leader remarked. “Blessed with unique geographical advantages, Central Asia has the right foundation, condition, and capability to become an important connectivity hub of Eurasia and make a unique contribution to the trading of goods, the interplay of civilizations, and the development
of science and technology in the world.”

He went on to reveal that at the virtual summit commemorating the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Central Asian countries held last year, the nations jointly announced their vision of a China-Central Asia community with a shared future.

As a result, he highlighted that the countries must remain committed to the four agreed-upon principles for their peoples’ core interests and bright future in the new period.

Mutual aid, he emphasised, is critical because it deepens strategic confidence and ensures that countries consistently provide unequivocal and strong support on issues of core interests such as sovereignty, independence, national dignity, and long-term development.

Second, common development, which Jinping pointed out is important because the countries should continue to set the pace for Belt and Road cooperation and deliver on the Global Development Initiative.

Third, universal security as he noted that it is pivotal that the six countries act on the Global Security Initiative, and stand firm against external attempts to interfere in the domestic affairs of regional countries or instigate colour revolutions.

Fourth, he emphasised the importance of everlasting friendship in implementing the Global Civilization Initiative, carrying forth their traditional friendship, and enhancing people-to-people relations.

He went on to say that the summit has provided a new platform and opened up new chances for China-Central Asia collaboration and that China would seize the opportunity to step up coordination with all parties for sound planning, development, and progress in China-Central Asia cooperation.

He also recommended strengthening institutional building by establishing meeting mechanisms on foreign affairs, economy, trade, and customs, as well as a business council; expanding economic and trade ties; deepening connectivity; expanding energy cooperation; promoting green innovation; enhancing development capabilities;
strengthening dialogue between civilizations; and safeguarding regional peace.

In conclusion, he underlined the importance of the six countries working closely together to promote common development, affluence, and success, and to embrace a brighter future.

At the end of the two-day event, the six leaders signed the Xi’an Declaration of the China-Central Asia Summit and adopted the List of Outcomes of the China-Central Asia Summit.

The parties agreed that Kazakhstan would host the second China-Central Asia Summit in 2025 and that the mechanism’s permanent secretariat would be based in China.

    America is no match to China,because the U.S.leader is dotish.The man stood on a podium and taking his sister for his wife
    Then he said
    “Oh, they exchanged them.”
    He is also compromised.His family have received millions of dollars from China.Even his grandchildren received thousands of dollars. These are not conspiracy theories these records are from the banks, where the transactions took place.
    A whistle blower told the House committee which is investigating this scam.
    How the FBI have the evidence where Joe Biden personally received money from China.The leader of the House asked for it,but the FBI refused to deliver it. (They are protecting Diden and the Democrats)
    So yes, the U.S is going down under Biden.
    You remember the Chinese spy balloon, which was allowed to hover over several State for many days while Joe was sleeping.
    In March, Putin crashed a U.S. drone in the
    Black Sea with his fighter jet.
    Say what you want about Trump.He is the man.

    What Mr.Xi Jinping is saying,It is difficult to control a people, if they are divided,with different political systems.He rather see one man,or have a few guys who thinks like him controlling the Asian countries.
    Don’t forget what happened to the young people,while demonstrating in Tiananmen Sqare.They were yearning for freedom.The Chinese leader just sprayed them with bullets.
    I don’t trust these dictators.They are seeking world power.So the best way to reach that goal.Is to give a little here and there.
    Of course, beggers are no choosers

      Don’t forget what America did to Iraq, Lybia and countless other countries.One billion times worse than what China will ever do.

    Any leader or system of government that severely restricts freedom of speech, jails and executes people at will, totally disregards one’s human rights, is too morally inept to lead this world in these times of ethnic and racial conflicts, geopolitical tensions, civil wars and genocidal hatred.

    China may have a booming economy but their track record on human rights is abysmal and excludes them from being the standard bearer for the rest of the world.

      America always claim to defend humam rights, in order to justify its acts of aggression, and it has scatterbrains like you, who was obviously sitting at the back of the chalkboard lauding murderous behaviour.
      It gives its evil operations to murder people all sorts of saintish nams:
      OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM– For the invasion of Afganistan
      OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM—For the brutal massacre of more than 1 000 000 Iraquis
      OPERATION UNIFIED PROTECTOR– For the destruction of Lybia and the killing of Ghaddafi. So educate yourself. America has a sordid track record in human massacre on a large scale. China does not! Let China take care of its affairs.

        Not because I detest the Chinese type of government (Communism) means I automatically support America and the Biden administration.

        America’s long history of assassination of foreign leaders, overt and covert dismantling of the economies of countries around the world that have not embraced its ideology, all these give me pause to throw my unmitigated support behind the US.

        In fact, I genuinely abhor America’s foreign policies as much as I pour scorn on despotism and totalitarianism as practised by China.

        I just want to disabuse you of the fallacious notion that if one criticises China system of government, then, automatically, that person is an American lackey. That is not even remotely true.

    Chinas president reminds of the serpent in the garden that deceived Adam and his friend Roosevelt Skerrit reminds me of those bad demons of the serpent. I am baffled that our pastors know China doesn’t believe in Jesus Christ or God and believers in China have to hide to worship God, yet these pastors are allowing Skerrit to give Dominica unto China without a word being said, oh how the love of money is really the root of all evil!!

    We also need a China that is democratic, and offers freedom to its citizens as well.

      You will never see a China that adopts European parliamentary democracy, and you must remove that from your head. China will continue with its leadership style whether the world likes it or not. It’s China’s business!!
      The most undemocratic country in the world today is Ukraine, and America and the West have no problem with that. So China should kick them out of its affairs,whenever they mention the word democracy. You think America bothers about democracy? It’s just an excuse thry are using to wage wars. They can’t mess with China though. China will destroy them at an instant!!

    China is spreading its wings throughout the globe. Well done China!!
    This is a country that went through several wars like the Opium war, the Taiping rebellion, the Boxer rebellion, the Japanese invasion and its own civil wars. But in about 4 decades, starting from 1978, it went from utter IMPOVERISHMENT, to the mighty POWERHOUSE that it is today. It’s something to celebrate and admire!!!!
    Unlike America that spread WARS and its attendant sufferings around the world, China brings development…It has its faults, but no system or government is perfect! China isn’t!!
    I LIKE CHINA!!! I love the Chinese people!!!
