BISHKEK, June 18 (Xinhua) — The concept of “China-Central Asian spirit” proposed by the Chinese side at the 2nd China-Central Asia Summit held in Astana, Kazakhstan on Tuesday reflects the essence of relations between China and Central Asian countries, former Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Alikbek Jekshenkulov told Xinhua.
“The China-Central Asian spirit” is characterized by mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit, mutual assistance and the promotion of joint modernization through high-quality development. “It serves as a spiritual foundation for the development of relations between China and Central Asian countries, pointing the way for regional cooperation,” A. Jekshenkulov noted.
According to the expert, “mutual respect and mutual trust” reflect equality of sovereignty, respect for each country’s choice of development path, “mutual benefit and mutual assistance” indicate the spirit of cooperation, and “joint modernization” implies a common pursuit of prosperity and regional development through initiatives such as the Belt and Road.
“This spirit will become a powerful engine for future cooperation between China and Central Asian countries, helping to form a closer community of shared destiny,” A. Dzhekshenkulov emphasized.
As for the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative and the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind put forward by China, the former head of the Kyrgyz Foreign Ministry said that they demonstrate China’s firm commitment to peace and development.
“The Global Development Initiative aims to bridge the development gap and promote inclusive globalization. The Global Security Initiative proposes a Chinese solution to overcome the security deficit, prioritizing dialogue over confrontation. The Global Civilization Initiative protects the diversity of civilizations and opposes the mentality of “clash of civilizations,” the Xinhua source said.
These initiatives, as A. Dzhekshenkulov believes, actively contribute to the reform of the global governance system, ensuring the “stable anchor” for a multipolar world and universal benefit, which is fully in line with the general expectations of the international community.
Speaking about the Treaty on Eternal Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation between China and the Central Asian Countries signed during the summit, A. Dzhekshenkulov stated that it has historical significance.
“This treaty not only lays the cornerstone of relations between China and Central Asian countries in the new era, but also demonstrates the powerful vitality of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. In the future, it will continuously stimulate the region to become an important platform for peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and harmonious coexistence of civilizations,” the expert concluded. –0–
