Through their joint endeavors, Chinese and Central Asian peoples made a historic contribution to the interaction, integration, enrichment and development of world civilizations by promoting the expansion and prosperity of the ancient Silk Road. Over the past decade, China and the Central Asian countries have worked closely together to fully revive the overland Silk Road and actively deepen their future-oriented cooperation.

Last year, President Xi Jinping and the heads of state of the five Central Asian countries gathered in the historical Chinese city of Xi'an, Shaanxi province, the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, for the inaugural China-Central Asia Summit, which marked the completion of the platform building and overall planning for China-Central Asia cooperation in the new era and the China-Central Asia community with a shared future.
