On May 18, 2023, the heads of state of China and the five Central Asian countries will gather in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China, to attend the China-Central Asia Summit. This is the first major home diplomatic event hosted by China this year, and it is also the first offline meeting between the heads of state of China and the five Central Asian countries. What is the significance of this summit in promoting cooperation between these nations?
“中国跟中亚的关系，合作关系在深化、在提升，然后有更多的问题要及时解决。要把合作建立在这样一个机制化、制度化的平台上，这时候就需要元首引领。” "The relationship and cooperation between China and Central Asian countries are deepening and improving, but there are some problems that must be solved in a timely manner. To cooperate on such a mechanism and institutionalized platform, the leaders of the state need to lead at this time."
“中亚这些国家积极参与到‘一带一路’倡议中来，以他们的国家战略和我们‘一带一路’进行对接，那现在看‘一带一路’建设十周年了，我们也需要为‘一带一路’倡议十年做个总结。”
"These countries in Central Asia have actively participated in the'Belt and Road' initiative, and have connected their countries' national strategies with our the'Belt and Road'initiative. Now that the 'Belt and Road' construction is on its 10th anniversary, we also need to sum up these ten years of the'Belt and Road'initiative. "
“在这个十年内我感受到中国的快速发展，就是我有这个意识了。我们国家也要像中国一样学习、像中国一样发展。” "In the past ten years, I have witnessed the rapid development of China. Now I have this awareness, that our country also needs to learn like China, to develop like China."
