The vibrant city of Xiamen in southeast China's Fujian Province recently hosted the 10th China-Central Asia Cooperation Forum, marking a significant milestone in fostering green development and celebrating a decade of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). 🌟
With over 400 participants from both local and global domains, the forum was abuzz with optimism as government officials and regional leaders from Central Asian countries explored new avenues for collaboration focused on sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
\"The green industry holds immense market potential in Central Asian countries,\" said Liu Zhijun, chairman of Xiamen King Long United Automotive Industry Company. His company showcased an innovative new energy bus at the forum's exhibition area, highlighting the shift towards greener transportation solutions. 🚍💚 Liu added that his firm plans to align its market interests with Central Asia soon, reinforcing the region's commitment to sustainable growth.
The emphasis on environmentally friendly development underscores the shared commitment of China and Central Asia to combat global warming and promote sustainable economic expansion. 🌱
China-Uzbekistan cooperation is also on the rise, with over 2,000 Chinese enterprises currently operating in Uzbekistan. There's a strong interest in collaborating on solar energy initiatives, with both the business community and the government keen to embrace Chinese investments.

Since its inception in 2012, the China-Central Asia Cooperation Forum has steadily broadened the scope of collaboration between the two regions.
