Welcome to World Today, the panel discussion with Mi Ge-en in Beijing.
The second China-Central Asia summit has concluded in Astana,
marking a new milestone in regional diplomacy.
In his keynote, President Xi Jinping introduced the China-Central Asia spirit,
defined by mutual respect, trust, benefit and assistance, a timely answer to global uncertainty.
A major breakthrough was the signing of a permanent treaty of good neighborliness,
friendship, and cooperation by the six nations.
The summit also delivered over 110 cooperation outcomes,
including three new centers on poverty reduction,
education, and desertification, and a platform for smoother trade.
Six priority areas were set.
trade, connectivity, green minerals, agriculture, investment,
and people-to-people ties, with collaboration expanding into AI and satellite navigation.
