Reference Message Network reported on June 19 that the Russia Izvestia website published an article titled "Chinese Diplomacy" on June 17. The author is Daria Saplunskaya. The following are excerpts from the article: In recent years, China has successfully restructured its cooperation methods with Central Asian countries: ministerial meetings in the "C5+1" (five Central Asian countries + China) format have been held since 2020. After the first China-Central Asia Summit was held in Xi'an in 2023 and the "Xi'an Declaration" was signed, Chinese President Xi Jinping's concept of a community with a shared future for mankind began to be actively promoted in Central Asia. The second China-Central Asia Summit was held on June 17 in Kazakhstan, continuing the dialogue on the cooperation direction between Central Asian countries and China. This summit and President Xi's visit to Kazakhstan were both conducted against the backdrop of intensified world conflicts and complex international political situations. Some media outlets claim that China hopes to establish a "loyal alliance" that it can rely on in future U.S.-China confrontations. However, China has consistently adhered to the idea of peaceful coexistence with Central Asia. Judging from the topics discussed at the summit, the core agenda is unrelated to this. Clearly, President Xi's visit focuses on several key points for regional development - energy, transportation corridors, and digitalization. Of course, the documents signed during the summit will not be limited to these three areas, as opportunities for cooperation with China are becoming increasingly diverse. For example, in Kazakhstan, not only traditional Chinese learning centers are emerging, but also specialized analytical institutions researching China's modernization, science and technology transfer issues have been established. In other words, China is actively engaging in activities across various fields to strengthen collaboration, and these efforts have proven quite effective. For Central Asia, economic cooperation with China has a solid foundation. For instance, Kazakhstan's President Tokayev said that "China never attaches political conditions when discussing large-scale economic projects," and can quickly fulfill all agreements. This statement is significant for the countries in the region because they are implementing numerous economic projects with China. Returning to economic issues, energy is very important for China. Despite some slowdown in the world economy, China's strength has not diminished, so market demand has not decreased. It was reported that Kazakhstan has signed an agreement with the China Power Construction Group during the second China-Central Asia Summit. China has been building infrastructure and logistics potential in Central Asian countries for quite some time. In addition to projects within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, China is also actively involving Central Asia in the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Key projects in this strategy include the already launched China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway and support for the trans-Afghanistan railway. All these projects can not only change the situation in the region by promoting trade exchanges but will also become supportive forces in spreading China's concepts to the world.
