In just three days, President Xi Jinping toured to Kazakhstan & Uzbekistan, and attended nearly 30 official events, achieving what officials and scholars are calling “a major diplomatic action”.
Observers described the choice of Central Asia for Xi’s first trip abroad since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic as a strategic step China has taken to advance cooperation, security, development, openness, mutual trust and respect among regional countries and beyond.
The visit “will add more vitality to the Silk Road connecting the Eurasian continent and add more stabilizing factors to the international and regional situations, which are at a key juncture”, Wang added.
“These tangible measures meet the needs of various countries and show that China not only proposed the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative, but also carried out the initiatives with real actions,” Wang said.
