From the ancient Silk Road to modern trade corridors, 30-year-old Said Bobur is weaving a new chapter in China-Central Asia ties. A decade after arriving in Qingdao from Uzbekistan, Bobur now speaks six languages and works as a cultural and economic bridge at the China-SCO Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Platform. 🚀
From Tashkent to Qingdao: A Polyglot’s Journey
Bobur’s story reads like a real-life Duolingo success saga: mastering Chinese, Russian, English, and three other languages while navigating life in China. 💬 'Learning languages opened doors I never imagined,' he says, describing how his skills help connect businesses across Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states.
More Than Translation: Building Economic Bridges
At the SCO platform, Bobur isn’t just interpreting words—he’s decoding business cultures. His team recently facilitated a $2M cross-border e-commerce deal between Shandong manufacturers and Kazakh partners. 📈 'Every handshake I enable feels like adding another thread to the New Silk Road,' he beams.
Youth Power in Global Governance
Bobur represents a growing trend: young professionals shaping multilateral cooperation through grassroots economic ties. With SCO trade hitting $1.3 trillion in 2023, his work highlights how Gen Z is redefining diplomacy—one business deal at a time. 🌐
