joined hands with Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Institute (CAREC
Institute) to host an event to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the
establishment of diplomatic ties between China and five Central Asian countries.
With the theme of "New Global Landscape: Green Silk Road Cooperation in Central
Asia," experts and leaders from the regions had a constructive discussion about
climate change, energy transition and how countries could further work together
to accelerate efforts on green innovation.
"This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic
relations between China and Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and
Turkmenistan," Yu Hongjun, former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
of the PRC to the Republic of Uzbekistan, said in a keynote speech.
Yu added that China is expecting an even brighter growth outlook when it comes
to the development of multi-national initiatives in the region.
Also at the event, Syed Shakeel Shah, Director of the CAREC Institute, said
that China and the five Central Asian nations have laid a firm foundation for
future bilateral cooperation, and that the CAREC Institute is making efforts to
boost development and interconnectivity in the region.
Specifically, Syed Shakeel Shah pointed out that the Central Asian region is
facing severe challenges brought by climate change and countries are in need of
greater financial support through the development of green finance. To build a
future with inclusive growth, governments and corporations must work together,
he added.
Meanwhile, Hu Xinglan, Principal Regional Cooperation Specialist of Central and
West Asia Department of Asian Development Bank, shared the "CAREC 2030"
