Bishkek, Jan. 5, 2022. / Kabar /. “The level of relations between the two peoples of Kyrgyzstan and China can serve as a model for many countries,” Kyrgyz President Sadyr Zhaparov said today speaking at a solemn event marking the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The head of state stressed that there were two peoples in Asia who lived side by side since the inception of civilization and culture and together witnessed many events. These are the Kyrgyz and the great Chinese!
Sadyr Zhaparov recalled that on January 5, 1992, a joint communiqué was signed on the establishment of diplomatic relations, which marked the beginning of a new history between Kyrgyzstan and China, that is, the history of the development of relations as sovereign states. Over the past 30 years, significant progress has been achieved in strengthening bilateral cooperation and developing multifaceted interaction. Kyrgyzstan and China, which for centuries were linked by the Great Silk Road, are now strategic partners!
He stressed that the Kyrgyz Republic was one of the first to support the initiative of the President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping One Belt, One Road. This step is based on historical circumstances and is consistent with the goals of the strategic partnership.
The president noted that today an important task is to eliminate the socio-economic consequences of the pandemic, the effective use of all mechanisms of cooperation at the bilateral and multilateral levels.
The head of state emphasized that China is one of the main partners of Kyrgyzstan in trade and investments. The Kyrgyz side is very interested in the rapid development of mutual trade and the implementation of joint investment projects. In particular, cooperation in the areas of infrastructure and transport, energy and processing industry, agriculture and tourism, as well as cooperation with Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China will yield immediate results.
In addition, the president outlined the implemented bilateral projects, which are the most important for the people of Kyrgyzstan.
He stressed that the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway should be an important step in increasing the transit potential of not only Kyrgyzstan, but also the Central Asian region as a whole, an important part of promoting the One Belt, One Road initiative.
Sadyr Zhaparov drew attention to the fact that in 2022 the country will begin to recover and revitalize the activities of Chinese companies. For its part, Kyrgyzstan is ready to provide appropriate assistance to Chinese investors who are ready to implement joint projects in the country.
At the same time, the president added that at present, special attention is paid to the issue of exporting ecologically clean agricultural products from Kyrgyzstan to China.
He noted with satisfaction that the parties are making every effort to increase the flow of goods transported through the Torugart and Irkeshtam checkpoints, and to increase their efficiency.
Sadyr Zhaparov touched upon one of the most important areas of cultural and humanitarian cooperation - education and expressed the hope that 2022 will be rich in many cultural and humanitarian events that will raise cultural and humanitarian cooperation between the two countries to a new level.
The president also indicated that cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and China within the framework of international organizations is an important area. Regional and international organizations are a good platform for the development of all aspects of political dialogue, multilateralism, security, trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation.
Sadyr Zhaparov paid special attention to the fact that the People's Republic of China recently supported the initiative of the Kyrgyz Republic to adopt a resolution at the 76th session of the UN General Assembly declaring 2022 the International Year of Sustainable Mountain Development and expressed its readiness to co-sponsor the draft resolution. This step meets the spirit of Kyrgyz-Chinese relations and is a shining example of friendship and mutual support.
