For his first visits abroad since the COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese President Xi Jinping will be in both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan and attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit. Experts said such visits not only demonstrate that China attaches great importance on Central Asia and the SCO, but also shows how China s cooperation with the two Central Asian countries sets a paragon for Beijing s relations with Central Asian nations in wide-ranging areas such as economic collaboration, fighting terrorism and upholding regional stability and peace.
A delegation from Uzbekistan visited Korea last week to discuss the details of Uzbekistan s constitutional reforms with Korean experts. The latter supported the Central Asian country s moves to promote human rights and strengthen democracy.
