Xi Jinping visits Europe and Asia

On the afternoon of June 21st, local time, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Bukhara and began a two day state visit to Uzbekistan.

The heads of state of the two countries unanimously decided to upgrade Sino Ukraine relations into a comprehensive strategic partnership.

Subsequently, Xi Jinping will attend the sixteenth meeting of the heads of State Council of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Member States held in Tashkent.

His last visit to Ukraine was in September 2013.

Xi Jinping's signature article published in the Uzbekistan media pointed out that building the "one belt and one way" together is the highlight and main thread of Sino Ukraine cooperation. Bilateral relations have entered the golden age of rapid development.

Uzbekistan is a "double landlocked country" in the hinterland of Central Asia (generally refers to the country is a landlocked country and neighboring countries are also landlocked countries). It is directly related to the situation in Central Asia, which is directly related to the 5 landlocked countries in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan.

"In 2013, President Xi proposed"

After its initiative, Ukraine was one of the first countries to respond positively, and it also linked its own development strategy with this initiative, which is a country with better integration.

In an interview with reporters, Chen Yurong, director of the Eurasian Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of international studies, pointed out that Ukraine is in the process of economic restructuring and sees the "one belt and one road" as a win-win economic cooperation initiative.

Wu did not participate in the Eurasian Economic Union formed by 6 former Soviet countries.

"One belt and one road" has initially completed the layout.

On June 22, 2016, when President Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the Supreme Court of Uzbekistan legislature, he stressed that the construction of "one belt and one road" has achieved positive results in many aspects.

Up to now, a total of more than 70 countries and international organizations have taken an active part in the construction of "one belt and one road". China has signed a capacity cooperation agreement with 20 countries, and has jointly built 46 overseas cooperation zones with 17 countries along the "one belt and one road". Chinese enterprises have invested more than 14 billion US dollars and created 60 thousand jobs for the local community.

The construction of the "one belt and one road" project has initially completed its planning and layout, and is moving towards the stage of taking root, deepening ploughing and sustainable development.

In addition, Xi Jinping said that we should deepen security cooperation between China and Ukraine, strengthen the situation judgement and information exchange, crack down on "three forces" and pnational organized crime such as drug trafficking, and jointly create a safe environment for regional peaceful development.

Chen Yurong pointed out that Ukraine has undertaken more arduous tasks than other Central Asian countries in combating "three forces", religious extremist forces and international terrorists.

This is also the reason for the SCO regional counterterrorism agency in Tashkent.

The Fergana basin in the border area of the United States is always an unstable region in Central Asia.

Poverty is the proper soil for the growth of extremism and international terrorism. "

"The prosperity and stability of Uzbekistan is not only conducive to the protection of China's oil and gas import and export stability, but also to the long-term stability of China's western region," he said. "It has important strategic significance for promoting the economic and trade development of the western provinces."

China has become the largest source of investment in Ukraine for three years in a row.

"In recent years, economic cooperation between China and Ukraine has entered the fast lane, and pportation, energy, telecommunications, agriculture, finance and productivity cooperation are all very promising."

Chen Yurong said.

China has been the second largest trading partner and the largest source of investment for three consecutive years.

In 2015, bilateral trade between China and Ukraine amounted to US $3 billion 500 million, which is more than 70 times the initial stage of diplomatic relations.

"It is worth mentioning that the private enterprises represented by Peng Sheng, ZTE and HUAWEI have taken root in the locals and gained high popularity and achieved good results."

Chen Yurong said, "through

China's cooperation has brought great improvement to the local economic development.

China and Ukraine have made achievements in building "one belt and one road". In the manufacturing sector, the two sides jointly implemented the tire plant, polyvinyl chloride plant and alkali plant project, and launched the cotton processing cooperation.

In the field of capital construction, the two sides built the first long tunnel in Central Asia in February this year, the "angel link PPU" railway tunnel. At present, they are speeding up the key cooperation projects such as the Sino Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan Railway and the China Central Asia gas pipeline D line.

To mention the flagship project of Sino Ukrainian economic cooperation, it should also be considered as an "angel link" railway tunnel.

After opening, it will become a new hub linking China and Central Asia's pport corridors.

"Before that, the railway traffic from Tashkent to the eastern part of the country had to bypass other countries, and it was very inconvenient to involve in the border crossing problem.

After the tunnel is completed, the traffic situation in the Uzbekistan area will be improved significantly.

Chen Yurong pointed out that this is an important progress made in the economic corridor between China and Central Asia and Western Asia.
