The sky is bright and clear.

In this harvest season, at the invitation of President Zhaparov, President Xi Jinping paid a state visit to Kyrgyzstan and attended the 26th meeting of the Council of Heads of Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

China and Kyrgyzstan are closely related by mountains and rivers and have close people-to-people ties. They are good neighbors who depend on each other, good partners with a shared destiny, and good friends who achieve mutual success.In recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the development of China-Kyrgyzstan relations has entered a golden period, and practical cooperation has entered a fast lane.On the eve of his visit, President Xi Jinping published a signed article in the Kyrgyz media stating that China is willing to continue to work with Kyrgyzstan to advance cooperation in all fields step by step, converge the trickling streams of friendship between the two peoples into a great river of friendship between China and Kyrgyzstan, and jointly create a new situation for the high-quality development of bilateral relations.

The traditional friendship between China and Kyrgyzstan is a valuable asset shared by both countries, and the two countries have a long history of exchanges.

For thousands of years, the heroic epic "Manas" has been circulated among the Kirgiz people in China and the Kyrgyz people in Kyrgyzstan.The cultural accumulation across national borders makes "Manas" a spiritual wealth shared by the people of China and Kyrgyzstan, carrying the cultural memories and emotional resonance of the two countries.

President Xi Jinping pointed out in his signed article that China and Kyrgyzstan "work together to protect and inherit the world's intangible cultural heritage such as "Manas" so that the people of the two countries can experience the cultural charm of the other country at close range."

The echoes of the thousand-year epic are endless, and the friendship along the Silk Road is passed down from generation to generation.Kyrgyzstan, located in the hinterland of Central Asia, is one of the first countries to support and actively participate in the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”.In Bishkek, Luban Workshop has trained thousands of local technical talents, and curriculum standards such as smart water conservancy and electrical equipment have been formally integrated into the national education system, helping to modernize and upgrade local education.The Confucius Institute has a great reputation and has become a window for more and more young people in Kyrgyzstan to understand China and pursue their dreams.China and Kyrgyzstan have jointly cultivated new shoots of friendship, making the foundation of ever-lasting friendship more solid.

The "Manas" first-class medal is the highest national medal of Kyrgyzstan.In June 2019, President Xi Jinping was awarded the first-class "Manas" medal in Bishkek.Kyrgyzstan thanks President Xi for his special contribution to promoting the development of Kyrgyzstan-China comprehensive strategic partnership.

In 2013, a strategic partnership was established; in 2018, it was upgraded to a comprehensive strategic partnership; in 2023, a comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era was established to build a China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future of good neighborliness, friendship and shared prosperity... Since the new era, China-Kyrgyzstan relations have achieved leapfrog development.

In 2025, President Xi Jinping and President Zhaparov met three times, from Beijing to Astana, Kazakhstan, and then to Tianjin on the banks of the Haihe River, jointly leading the continuous development of China-Kyrgyzstan relations.

China has remained Kyrgyzstan’s largest trading partner, largest source of imports, and largest source of investment for many years in a row.In 2025, the trade volume of goods between the two countries will reach US$27.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 20%, setting another record high.Investment cooperation between the two countries has grown rapidly, and they have continuously deepened cooperation in agriculture, energy and minerals and other fields, and created new cooperation growth points such as artificial intelligence and digital economy.

President Xi Jinping pointed out in a signed article: "It is necessary to consolidate traditional cooperation in economic and trade investment, interconnection, green minerals and other emerging fields, and expand cooperation in emerging fields such as digital economy, clean energy, and artificial intelligence. Promote the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, accelerate the modernization and upgrading of ports, and simultaneously improve "hard connectivity"and "soft connectivity" to achieve smooth movement of people and smooth flow of goods."

"Kyrgyzstan's most valuable advantage is its proximity to China," President Zhaparov once said with emotion, and said that Kyrgyzstan insists on making relations with China a priority in its foreign policy.

Being kind and kind to your neighbors is a national treasure.

On the day of the welcome banquet for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit last year, which coincided with the Independence Day of Kyrgyzstan, President Xi Jinping extended his sincere congratulations; this visit coincides with the 35th anniversary of Kyrgyzstan’s independence. On behalf of the Chinese government and people, President Xi Jinping extended sincere congratulations and best wishes to the friendly people of Kyrgyzstan... These precious moments are a moving footnote of the heart-to-heart communication and sincerity between China and Kyrgyzstan.

Upholding the friendship from generation to generation and unswervingly advancing cooperation, the tree of China-Kyrgyzstan friendship will surely flourish and remain green all year round.
