A New Chapter in Cooperation
Li Qiang noted that, guided by their heads of state, bilateral relations have achieved leapfrog development in recent years, with comprehensive cooperation reaching new heights. He called on both sides to:
- Align development strategies and focus on practical results
- Secure a high-level agreement on trade in services and investment
- Advance interconnection projects like the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway
- Boost people-to-people exchanges and safeguard open trade
Emphasizing that China is ready to import more high-quality commodities from Kyrgyzstan and encourages Chinese enterprises to invest in the country, Li also urged the Kyrgyz side to continue optimizing its business environment.
Shared Goals and Global Impact
Prime Minister Kasymaliev praised the Chinese mainland's strides in developing new quality productive forces and reaffirmed Kyrgyzstan's adherence to the one-China principle.

Both leaders pledged to stand against unilateralism and protectionism, defend free trade and ensure the stability of global production and supply chains. For young global citizens and entrepreneurs, this meeting signals an expanding horizon of opportunities—from infrastructural ventures to service-sector partnerships.
