Jointly Build an Even Closer China–Central Asia Community with a Shared Future

On June 17, the Second China–Central Asia Summit was held at the Independence Palace in Astana, Kazakhstan. In his keynote speech titled “Carry Forward the ‘China–Central Asia Spirit’ and Promote High-Quality Development of Regional Cooperation,” President Xi Jinping pointed out: “Three years ago, we jointly announced the building of a China–Central Asia community with a shared future, which set the goal and direction for the six countries to build consensus, overcome challenges, and pursue common development. We should take the ‘China–Central Asia Spirit’ as our guide, strengthen cooperation with a more enterprising attitude and more pragmatic measures, promote the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative, and forge ahead toward the goal of a community with a shared future.” At a time when changes unseen in a century are accelerating and the international and regional situation is intertwined with turmoil, China and Central Asian countries joining hands to build an even closer China–Central Asia community with a shared future is timely, pointing the way and providing fundamental guidance for advancing common modernization, creating a model for regional cooperation, and building a new type of international relations.

6月17日，第二届中国—中亚峰会在哈萨克斯坦阿斯塔纳独立宫举行。习近平主席发表题为《弘扬“中国—中亚精神” 推动地区合作高质量发展》的主旨发言指出：“3年前，我们共同宣布构建中国—中亚命运共同体，为六国凝聚共识、克服挑战、共谋发展指明了目标和方向。我们要以‘中国—中亚精神’为引领，以更加进取的姿态和更加务实的举措加强合作，推动共建‘一带一路’高质量发展，朝着命运共同体目标砥砺前行。”在百年变局加速演进、国际与地区局势变乱交织的当下，中国同中亚国家携手构建更加紧密的中国—中亚命运共同体恰逢其时，为推进共同现代化、打造地区合作典范、构建新型国际关系指明了方向、提供了根本遵循。

Jointly Building an Even Closer China–Central Asia Community with a Shared Future Conforms to the Trend of the Times

携手构建更加紧密的中国—中亚命运共同体顺应时代发展潮流

President Xi Jinping pointed out: “History cannot regress; it must move forward. The world cannot be divided; it must unite. Humanity cannot return to the law of the jungle; it must build a community with a shared future for mankind.” In January 2022, at the video summit commemorating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the five Central Asian countries, President Xi Jinping proposed jointly building an even closer China–Central Asia community with a shared future. Jointly building an even closer China–Central Asia community with a shared future is a “China–Central Asia solution” that directly confronts global challenges.

习近平主席指出：“历史不能倒退，应当向前；世界不能分裂，应当团结；人类不能回到丛林法则，应当构建人类命运共同体。”2022年1月，在中国同中亚五国建交30周年视频峰会上，习近平主席提出携手构建更加紧密的中国—中亚命运共同体。携手构建更加紧密的中国—中亚命运共同体，是直面全球性挑战的“中国—中亚方案”。

In today’s world, challenges and opportunities coexist. On the one hand, changes unseen in a century are accelerating, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and transformation, which brings severe challenges to Central Asia and the entire world, with instability and uncertainty becoming the norm. Regional hotspot issues arise one after another, unilateralism and protectionism run rampant, and certain countries “hold high” the big sticks of sanctions and tariffs, wantonly trampling on the interests of other countries, resulting in a lack of trust and a deficit in governance. On a global scale, the peace deficit continues to deepen, the development deficit continues to expand, the security deficit becomes increasingly prominent, and the governance deficit grows more severe. On the other hand, in the face of global and regional challenges, the tasks of promoting development and prosperity and maintaining peace and security are becoming increasingly onerous. More and more countries

当今世界，挑战与机遇并存。一方面，百年变局加速演进，世界进入新的动荡变革期，这给中亚以及整个世界带来严峻挑战，不稳定性、不确定性成为常态。地区热点问题此起彼伏，单边主义、保护主义肆虐，个别国家“高举”制裁与关税大棒，肆意践踏他国利益，信任缺失、治理缺位。全球范围，和平赤字不断加深、发展赤字持续扩大、安全赤字日益凸显、治理赤字更加严峻。另一方面，面对全球性与地区性挑战，推动发展繁荣与维护和平安全的任务愈加繁重。包括中国和中亚五国在内，越来越多的国家愈加意识到共同应对挑战、共渡难关的重要性和迫切性。

The interdependence of all countries is a historical trend. Living under the same sky, whether close neighbors or distant friends, large or small nations, developed or developing countries, all are increasingly forming a community of shared interests, shared responsibilities, and a shared future, where interests are intertwined and security is mutual. Against the backdrop of the information age, exchanges and ties between China and Central Asian countries have become more frequent, closer, deeper, and broader. Over more than three decades of friendly exchanges since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China and Central Asian countries have adhered to mutual respect, good-neighborly friendship, solidarity in times of difficulty, and mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. Political mutual trust and comprehensive cooperation have reached an unprecedented high level, setting a model for a new type of international relations.

各国相互依存是历史大势。生活在同一片蓝天下，无论近邻还是远交，无论大国还是小国，无论发达国家还是发展中国家，各国正日益形成利益交融、安危与共的利益共同体、责任共同体、命运共同体。信息化时代背景之下，中国同中亚国家的交往与联系更频繁、更紧密，也更深入、更广泛。在建交30多年的友好往来中，中国同中亚国家坚持相互尊重、睦邻友好、同舟共济、互利共赢，政治互信和全面合作达到前所未有的高水平，树立了新型国际关系典范。

The systemic driving forces generated by changes in the world and regional political economy are pushing Central Asian countries to establish dialogue platforms and cooperate in addressing challenges with major actors on the basis of a "collective identity." Faced with the impact of internal and external transformations, political stability, economic recovery, and social security have become common aspirations of Central Asian countries. The geopolitical turmoil triggered by the Ukraine crisis is driving the Central Asian region toward becoming a global "hub." To realize this role and functional transformation, Central Asian countries have accelerated the process of regional integration. In July 2022, the fourth Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Central Asian Countries, held in Kyrgyzstan, signed the Treaty on Friendship, Good-Neighborliness and Cooperation for the Development of Central Asia in the 21st Century, marking a new stage in Central Asian integration.

世界与地区政治经济变局形成的系统性驱动力，推动着中亚国家以“集体身份”与主要行为体建立对话平台、合作应对挑战。面对内外变革冲击，政治稳定、经济复苏与社会安全成为中亚国家的共同诉求。乌克兰危机引发的地缘政治局势动荡，推动中亚地区向全球“枢纽地带”方向发展。为实现这种角色和功能转型，中亚国家加快了地区一体化进程。2022年7月，在吉尔吉斯斯坦举行的第四次中亚国家元首协商会议，签署了《关于21世纪中亚睦邻友好与合作发展的协议》，标志着中亚一体化迈入新阶段。

Deep historical ties and extensive practical needs have laid a solid foundation for China–Central Asia cooperation. The Belt and Road Initiative has closely united China and Central Asian countries. The form, structure, and driving mechanisms of Central Asian regional integration are also undergoing positive changes. In building a community with a shared future for mankind, China and Central Asian countries have always been in the "first echelon" of the international community. The Joint Statement of the Leaders of China and the Five Central Asian Countries on the 30th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations states: "The six countries are determined to continue working together to build a strategic partnership rich in content, fruitful, and enduring, based on mutual interests, and to create a China–Central Asia community with a shared future." This solemn commitment fully demonstrates the determination of the six countries to steadily and continuously advance their bilateral relations, injecting more positive energy into regional peace and development and bringing greater well-being to the peoples of both sides. The cooperative pattern of mutual interdependence, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation, where each is embedded in the other, enables China and Central Asian countries to benefit together and share in development. Chinese-path modernization requires a stable, peaceful, and thriving Central Asia. As a systematic integrator of regional industrial and supply chains, China can also help Central Asian countries restructure their industrial systems. The all-round cooperation between China and Central Asian countries will promote the prosperity and stability of the entire region.

深厚的历史渊源与广泛的现实需求为中国—中亚合作奠定了坚实基础。“一带一路”倡议将中国与中亚国家紧密团结在一起。中亚地区一体化的形态、结构和动力机制也在发生积极变化。在构建人类命运共同体方面，中国同中亚国家始终走在国际社会“第一方阵”。《中国同中亚五国领导人关于建交30周年的联合声明》指出：“六国决心在兼顾彼此利益的基础上继续合力构建内涵丰富、成果丰硕、友谊持久的战略伙伴关系，打造中国—中亚命运共同体。”这一郑重承诺充分表明六国坚定推动双方关系持续稳定向前发展的决心，将给地区和平发展注入更多正能量，给双方人民带来更多福祉。你中有我、我中有你，相互依存、互利共赢的合作格局，使中国同中亚国家共同受益、共享发展。中国式现代化需要稳定安宁、蒸蒸日上的中亚，作为区域产业链和供应链体系化整合者的中国，也可以促进中亚国家重构产业体系，中国同中亚国家的全方位合作将推动整个地区的繁荣稳定。

Advancing common modernization is the shared vision for jointly building an even closer China–Central Asia community with a shared future.

推进共同现代化是携手构建更加紧密的中国—中亚命运共同体的共同愿景

China and the five Central Asian countries, all being developing nations, have always been fellow travelers on the path of modernization. President Xi Jinping has pointed out: "Our cooperation is rooted in over

中国与中亚五国同为发展中国家，一直是现代化道路上的同行者。习近平主席指出：“我们的合作根植于两千多年的友好往来，巩固于建交30多年的团结互信，发展于新时代以来的开放共赢。”当前，中国正在以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业，中亚国家也在坚持走适合本国国情的发展道路，全力实现发展转型、民族振兴。在习近平主席与中亚各国元首的战略引领下，中国同中亚国家全方位合作不断走深走实。

The continuously strengthened political mutual trust is the political foundation for advancing common modernization. Over more than 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, China and the Central Asian countries have respected each other, treated each other as equals, and supported and actively communicated with each other on issues concerning each other's major core interests. The most significant innovation of this summit is that the six heads of state jointly signed the "Treaty on Permanent Good-Neighborliness, Friendship, and Cooperation," which fixes the principle of friendship for generations in legal form. This is a new milestone in the history of relations among the six countries, benefiting the present and bringing advantages for the future. The signing of the treaty shows that political mutual trust between China and the Central Asian countries has reached a new height, strategic coordination has taken new steps, and people-to-people bonds have achieved a new leap, which will lay a solid foundation for the long-term stable development of relations between China and the Central Asian countries. China and the five Central Asian countries have achieved "three full coverages"—comprehensive strategic partnership, Belt and Road cooperation partners, and bilateral and regional communities with a shared future—demonstrating the high level of mutual trust between the two sides.

不断加强的政治互信是推动共同现代化的政治基础。建交30多年来，中国同中亚国家相互尊重、平等相待，在涉及彼此重大核心利益问题上相互支持、积极沟通。本届峰会最重大的创举是六国元首共同签署“永久睦邻友好合作条约”，以法律形式将世代友好的原则固定下来，这是六国关系史上新的里程碑，功在当代、利在千秋。条约的签署显示中国同中亚国家政治互信达到新高度、战略协作迈出新步伐、民心相通实现新跨越，将为中国同中亚国家关系长期稳定发展筑牢根基。中国同中亚五国已实现全面战略伙伴关系、共建“一带一路”合作伙伴、双边和区域命运共同体“三个全覆盖”，展现了双方的高度互信。

The continuously deepened practical cooperation is the economic foundation for advancing common modernization. The level of cooperation between China and the five Central Asian countries in traditional fields such as investment and trade, infrastructure, and energy and minerals has been continuously improved, and cooperation in emerging industries such as green development, artificial intelligence, and cross-border e-commerce has been successively expanded. In 2024, the trade volume between China and the five Central Asian countries reached 94.8 billion US dollars, hitting a record high again. Since the first China–Central Asia Summit, the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway project has been officially launched, the planning for the third China–Kazakhstan railway has been steadily advanced, the second phase of the China–Tajikistan highway repair has progressed smoothly, and China–Turkmenistan energy cooperation has been steadily carried out... At this summit, the six heads of state jointly witnessed the signing of the Action Plan for High-Quality Belt and Road Cooperation. This is the first time China has signed a Belt and Road cooperation document with all countries in a single region adjacent to it as a whole. Central Asia's role as a demonstration zone for high-quality Belt and Road cooperation has become more substantial and its momentum stronger. China and the Central Asian countries also signed cooperation documents in areas such as facilitation of personnel exchanges, green minerals, unimpeded trade, connectivity, industry, and customs, and established the China–Central Asia Platform for Unimpeded Trade Cooperation. All parties will focus on six priority directions—unimpeded trade, industrial investment, connectivity, green minerals, agricultural modernization, and personnel exchanges—to promote more visible results and assist each other's development and revitalization.

持续深化的务实合作是推动共同现代化的经济基础。中国同中亚五国在投资贸易、基础设施、能源矿产等传统领域的合作水平不断提升，绿色发展、人工智能、跨境电商等新兴产业的合作相继拓展。2024年，中国与中亚五国的贸易额达到948亿美元，再创历史新高。首届中国—中亚峰会以来，中吉乌铁路项目正式启动、中哈第三条铁路规划稳步推进、中塔公路二期修复进展顺利、中土能源合作稳步开展……本届峰会上，六国元首共同见证签署高质量共建“一带一路”行动计划，这是中国首次同周边单一区域内所有国家整体签署共建“一带一路”合作文件，中亚作为高质量共建“一带一路”示范区成色更足、动力更强。中国同中亚国家还签署了人员往来便利化、绿色矿产、贸易畅通、互联互通、工业、海关等领域合作文件，并成立中国—中亚贸易畅通合作平台。各方将聚焦贸易畅通、产业投资、互联互通、绿色矿产、农业现代化、人员往来六大优先方向，推动取得更多可视化成果，助力各自发展振兴。

Increasingly strengthened security cooperation is a stable foundation for advancing common modernization. President Xi Jinping pointed out: “China supports the efforts of Central Asian countries to modernize their national defense and law enforcement security, and is ready to provide assistance within its capacity for combating terrorism and transnational organized crime, and for maintaining cyber and biological security, and to implement more safe-city projects and joint exercises and training cooperation.” China and Central Asian countries jointly practice the Global Security Initiative and continuously strengthen cooperation in the security field. In recent years, China and Central Asian countries have jointly combated the “three forces”[1]1 The “three forces” refers to terrorism, separatism and extremism, a standard Chinese formulation for the main security threats in the region. and transnational organized crime, jointly addressed security threats, helped Afghanistan achieve peace, stability, reconstruction and development at an early date, and forged a regional security pattern of peace, tranquility and shared weal and woe. Multi-domain cooperation and multiple measures taken in parallel have effectively safeguarded regional security and stability.

愈加强化的安全合作是推动共同现代化的稳定基础。习近平主席指出：“中方支持中亚国家为实现国防和执法安全现代化所作努力，愿为各国打击恐怖主义和跨国有组织犯罪、维护网络和生物安全，提供力所能及的帮助，实施更多平安城市项目和联演联训合作。”中国同中亚国家共同践行全球安全倡议，不断加强安全领域合作。近年来，中国与中亚国家共同打击“三股势力”以及跨国有组织犯罪，共同应对安全威胁，帮助阿富汗早日实现和平稳定与重建发展，打造和平安宁、休戚与共的地区安全格局。多领域合作，多举措并行，有力维护了地区的安全稳定。

Continuously expanded people-to-people and cultural cooperation is the popular foundation for advancing common modernization. The key to state-to-state relations lies in the affinity between the peoples. President Xi Jinping pointed out: “I hope the measures on facilitating people-to-people exchanges adopted today will be implemented as soon as possible, so that the people of our six countries can travel more conveniently and efficiently, and visit each other more frequently and closely, just like relatives.” During this summit, China signed multiple sister-city agreements with the five Central Asian countries, bringing the total number of sister-city pairs to over 100. China is willing to open more cultural centers, branch campuses of Chinese universities, and Luban Workshops[2]2 Luban Workshops are Chinese vocational education programs named after the ancient Chinese craftsman Lu Ban, established abroad to train local personnel in technical skills. in Central Asia, add more Central Asian language programs in Chinese universities, continue to implement the “China–Central Asia Technical and Vocational Education Enhancement Program,” and train more high-quality personnel for Central Asian countries. Using sister-city exchanges as a bridge and people-to-people and cultural exchanges as a lever, China and Central Asian countries jointly build a pattern of “people-to-people connectivity” that extends from the central to local levels, from official to non-governmental channels, and from adjacent regions to broader areas.

持续拓展的人文合作是推动共同现代化的民意基础。国之交，在于民相亲。习近平主席指出：“希望今天通过的人员往来便利化举措尽快落地见效，使六国民众出行更加便捷高效，像走亲戚一样常来常往、越走越亲。”本届峰会期间，中国同中亚五国签署多份友城协议，友城数量突破100对。中方愿在中亚开设更多文化中心、高校分校、鲁班工坊，在中国高校增设中亚语言专业，继续实施好“中国—中亚技术技能提升计划”，为中亚各国培养更多高素质人才。中国与中亚国家以友城交往为桥梁，以人文交流为抓手，共同打造从中央到地方、从官方到民间、从毗邻地区到更广区域的“心联通”格局。

Jointly building a more closely knit China–Central Asia community with a shared future sets a model for forging a new type of international relations.

携手构建更加紧密的中国—中亚命运共同体为建设新型国际关系树立典范

President Xi Jinping pointed out: “We need to deepen strategic mutual trust, and always give each other clear and strong support on issues concerning our core interests such as sovereignty, independence, national dignity and long-term development, so as to jointly build a community of mutual assistance, solidarity and mutual trust.” Jointly building a more closely knit China–Central Asia community with a shared future opens a new pattern for international exchanges and sets a model for forging a new type of international relations. The China–Central Asia community with a shared future is based on establishing a partnership pattern of equal treatment, mutual consultation and mutual understanding. Over the past 30-plus years, through joint efforts, China and the five Central Asian countries have achieved full coverage of comprehensive strategic partnerships. In the diplomatic layouts of China and Central Asian countries, each occupies an important position.

习近平主席指出：“要深化战略互信，在涉及主权、独立、民族尊严、长远发展等核心利益问题上，始终给予彼此明确、有力支持，携手建设一个守望相助、团结互信的共同体。”携手构建更加紧密的中国—中亚命运共同体，为国际交往开创新格局、为建设新型国际关系树立了典范。中国—中亚命运共同体立足于建立平等相待、互商互谅的伙伴关系格局。30多年来，在共同努力下，中国同中亚五国已实现全面战略伙伴关系全覆盖。在中国与中亚国家的外交布局中，彼此都占有重要地位。

It sets a model of mutual respect for the new type of international relations. Since gaining independence more than 30 years ago, Central Asian countries have been committed to consolidating political independence, opposing external interference, adhering to development paths suited to their national conditions, and seeking diversified and balanced diplomacy and independence. China firmly supports Central Asian countries in independently choosing their development paths and supports them in safeguarding national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. Central Asian countries reaffirm their adherence to the One-China principle, recognizing that there is only one China in the world and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China.

树立了新型国际关系相互尊重的典范。独立30多年来，中亚国家一直致力于巩固政治独立，反对外来干涉，坚持走适合本国国情的发展道路，寻求外交多元平衡和独立自主。中国坚定支持中亚国家自主选择发展道路，支持各国维护国家独立、主权和领土完整，中亚国家重申恪守一个中国原则，承认世界上只有一个中国，台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分。

It sets a model of good-neighborly friendship for the new type of international relations. The Central Conference on Work Relating to Neighboring Countries pointed out: “China has a vast territory and long borders. Neighboring countries are an important foundation for achieving development and prosperity, a key focus for safeguarding national security, a priority in the overall diplomatic strategy, and a crucial factor in promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.” President Xi Jinping pointed out: “China has always regarded Central Asia as a priority in its neighborhood diplomacy, adheres to the principle and policy of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, and treats Central Asian countries as equals with sincerity, always wishing the best for neighbors and hoping for their prosperity.” Central Asia is one of China’s important neighboring regions, the place where the high-quality Belt and Road Initiative was first proposed, and an active participant in advancing the Belt and Road Initiative. Over 30 years of exchanges have shown that good-neighborly friendship is the cornerstone for promoting high-quality common development between China and Central Asian countries. With the common vision of building a peaceful, tranquil, prosperous, beautiful and friendly “five-pronged home,”[3]3 The “five-pronged home” refers to the vision of a peaceful, tranquil, prosperous, beautiful and friendly community, as articulated by President Xi Jinping for China–Central Asia cooperation. with the principle and policy of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness and a shared future, with the Asian values of peace, cooperation, openness and inclusiveness as basic guidelines, with high-quality Belt and Road cooperation as the main platform, and with the Asian security model of sharing weal and woe, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and dialogue and consultation as strategic support, China will join hands with Central Asian countries to create a bright future.

树立了新型国际关系睦邻友好的典范。中央周边工作会议指出：“我国幅员辽阔、边界线长，周边是实现发展繁荣的重要基础、维护国家安全的重点、运筹外交全局的首要、推动构建人类命运共同体的关键。”习近平主席指出：“中方始终视中亚为周边外交优先方向，坚持睦邻安邻富邻、亲诚惠容理念方针，同中亚国家平等相交、真诚相待，永远亲望亲好、邻望邻好。”中亚是中国的重要周边之一，是高质量共建“一带一路”的首倡之地，是推进“一带一路”的积极参与者。30多年的交往表明，睦邻友好是促进中国同中亚国家高质量推进共同发展的基石。中国将以建设和平、安宁、繁荣、美丽、友好“五大家园”为共同愿景，以睦邻、安邻、富邻、亲诚惠容、命运与共为理念方针，以和平、合作、开放、包容的亚洲价值观为基本遵循，以高质量共建“一带一路”为主要平台，以安危与共、求同存异、对话协商的亚洲安全模式为战略支撑，携手中亚国家共创美好未来。

It sets a model of fairness and justice for the new type of international relations. Justice is one of humanity’s eternal pursuits for a better world. The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and also the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. In the current era of intertwined turmoil, rampant unilateralism, and frequent global and regional issues, China and Central Asian countries jointly uphold the correct view of the history of World War II, oppose hegemonism, actively uphold and practice true multilateralism, maintain the post-war international order, and defend international fairness and justice. Jointly building a more closely knit China–Central Asia community with a shared future conforms to the interests and development aspirations of China and Central Asian countries. The key to the close cooperation between China and Central Asian countries and the smooth development of the China–Central Asia mechanism lies in the “China–Central Asia spirit” of “mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit, and mutual assistance, advancing common modernization through high-quality development.” The successful convening of this summit is a new milestone in China–Central Asia cooperation and will surely promote a historic leap in relations between China and Central Asian countries. Guided by the “China–Central Asia spirit,” China and Central Asian countries will join hands to build a more closely knit China–Central Asia community with a shared future, jointly depict a beautiful picture of the next “golden 30 years” of good-neighborly friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation, and make greater contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

树立了新型国际关系公平正义的典范。正义是人类对美好世界的永恒追求之一。2025年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年，也是联合国成立80周年。在动乱交织、单边主义盛行、全球与地区问题频发的当下，中国同中亚国家共同维护正确二战史观，反对霸权主义，积极维护与践行真正的多边主义，维护战后国际秩序，捍卫国际公平正义。携手构建更加紧密的中国—中亚命运共同体，符合中国与中亚国家的利益与发展诉求。中国同中亚国家能够紧密合作，中国—中亚机制能够顺利发展，成功的钥匙就在于“互尊、互信、互利、互助，以高质量发展推进共同现代化”的“中国—中亚精神”。本届峰会的成功举办，是中国—中亚合作新的里程碑，定会促进中国同中亚国家关系实现历史性跨越。中国同中亚国家也将会在“中国—中亚精神”的指引下，携手构建更加紧密的中国—中亚命运共同体，共同描绘睦邻友好、互利合作的下一个“黄金三十年”的美好画卷，为构建人类命运共同体作出更大贡献。
