On Monday, August 31, 2026, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov met in Bishkek to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Kyrgyzstan’s independence and to reinforce a rapidly expanding partnership between the two countries. Xi, who landed in Kyrgyzstan on Sunday for a state visit and to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit 2026, declared that China is ready to deliver practical cooperation outcomes that are tangible and accessible.
During the meeting, Xi praised the “golden period” of China‑Kyrgyzstan cooperation, noting that the relationship has achieved leapfrog development under the joint guidance of the two leaders. He highlighted the breadth of cooperation across all fields, the benefits to the people of both countries, and the contribution to peace, stability and prosperity in the region. Xi also linked the visit to the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the launch of China’s 15th Five‑Year Plan (2026‑2030). He said China is building a great country through modernization and that Kyrgyzstan is implementing its National Development Program until 2030, urging alignment of development strategies and deeper exchanges on governance experience to build a shared future.
China’s support for Kyrgyzstan’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity was reaffirmed, with Xi stating that the two sides will continue to support each other on core interests. President Japarov welcomed the visit, emphasizing the profound friendship and high‑level political trust between the two nations. He thanked China for its “selfless support” at critical moments in Kyrgyzstan’s development, congratulated China on the 105th anniversary of the CPC, and expressed admiration for China’s development achievements under Xi’s leadership. Japarov also highlighted the importance of learning from China’s governance experience and reaffirmed Kyrgyzstan’s commitment to the one‑China principle and to developing friendly relations on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.
Both leaders agreed to deepen practical cooperation, urging the implementation of an intergovernmental economic and trade cooperation plan, diversification of trade products, and development of new growth areas such as digital trade and cross‑border e‑commerce. Xi called for the high‑quality construction of the China‑Kyrgyzstan‑Uzbekistan railway, a major transportation artery that “carries the development aspirations of the people across the region.” He also urged modernization of border ports, deepening of “soft connectivity” in institutions, standards and rules, and the launch of landmark projects in renewable energy, resource recycling, green minerals and the entire industrial chain. The leaders will also build a Belt and Road Joint Laboratory, enhance artificial intelligence cooperation and leverage scientific and technological innovation to boost the quality and efficiency of bilateral collaboration. They pledged to expand cooperation in youth affairs, media, tourism, sports, health care and local affairs, while strengthening social and public support for China‑Kyrgyzstan friendship.
Japarov confirmed Kyrgyzstan’s willingness to strengthen cooperation in trade and investment, connectivity, technological innovation, energy, mineral resources, the green economy, and to deepen exchanges in education, health, culture and youth sectors. He also announced the country’s readiness to advance the construction of the China‑Kyrgyzstan‑Uzbekistan railway, describing it as a “steel Silk Road” for the new era and a bond of friendship. Xi stressed the importance of expanding cooperation in law enforcement and security, jointly combating terrorism, extremism, separatism, drug trafficking and transnational crimes to maintain regional peace and stability. He highlighted China’s support for Kyrgyzstan’s greater role in international and regional affairs, and the willingness to enhance collaboration within the United Nations, implement the four major global initiatives, oppose hegemonism and power politics, adhere to true multilateralism, safeguard international fairness and justice, and promote a more just and equitable global governance system. Both leaders also reaffirmed their shared commitment to promoting the outcomes of the Tianjin Summit, facilitating common development in the region and advancing the SCO to a new level.
Following the talks, the two heads of state signed a joint declaration on the high‑quality development of the comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era, as well as a bilateral treaty on permanent good‑neighborliness, friendship and cooperation. The treaty, which provides an important legal foundation for everlasting friendship and firm mutual support, was said by both leaders to open broader prospects for bilateral relations. The leaders also exchanged documents on investment, transportation, customs and sister‑city relations, and signed over 20 other cooperation documents covering science and technology, education, culture, media and additional areas.
