On a sunny spring day, Beijing ushered in an international event, the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation. Representatives from more than 140 countries and more than 30 international organizations gathered here to discuss the future development roadmap. Strikingly, however, China chose to give its first big deal to Kazakhstan rather than Putin, who often stands in the limelight.
China-Kazakhstan cooperation has a long history, especially under the "Belt and Road" initiative, the cooperation between the two sides has reached an unprecedented height. Kazakhstan, located in Central Asia, is an ideal partner for China's initiative, a region strategically important part of the Belt and Road Initiative. More than a decade ago, China first proposed the concept of the Silk Road Economic Belt, and Kazakhstan responded quickly to this initiative. In less than a year, Kazakhstan launched the "China-Kazakhstan Lianyungang Logistics Cooperation Base", which became the first physical project of the "Belt and Road". The complementary potential of the two countries is huge, and the areas of cooperation include infrastructure construction, energy, industrial parks and so on.
In addition, Central Asia has always been seen as Russia's "backyard", and despite Russia's diminishing influence in the region, China and Russia have a common interest in maintaining stability and security in the region. Therefore, it is a reasonable and wise decision for China to choose to hand over the first big order to Kazakhstan at the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation.
This interesting incident stems from long-standing cooperation between China and Kazakhstan. At the forum, China and Kazakhstan signed more than 30 cooperation documents with a total value of US$16.54 billion, covering investment, trade, science and technology, finance and other fields. Sinopec also announced that it will take a stake in Kazakhstan's largest polyethylene project, a major deal expected to close next year. This move has sparked widespread attention and discussion.
At the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, the cooperation between China and Kazakhstan has yielded fruitful results. The appearance of Kazakh President Tokayev is of particular concern. He delivered a fluent Chinese speech at the forum, expressed his expectations for cooperation in Chinese, and also expressed his deep friendship with China.
Tokayev has a special relationship with China. He studied Chinese at Beijing Language and Culture University between 1983 and 1984 and is therefore fluent in the language. During the trip, the Kazakh president also made a special visit to his alma mater, presenting the school with a statue of the famous Kazakh thinker Ali Farabi. This move not only reflects the deep friendship between the two sides, but also reflects the great potential and broad prospects for cooperation between the two countries under the "Belt and Road" initiative.
At the forum, China issued the first large order to Kazakhstan, which is based on the long-term friendly cooperation and potential cooperation potential of the two sides. This move will further deepen cooperation between China and Kazakhstan at multiple levels and reflects the strategic importance of this relationship. The areas of cooperation between the two sides include not only infrastructure construction, but also energy, industrial parks and other fields, and the potential for complementarity between them is huge.
At the same time, Putin's visit has also attracted much attention. Although his first meeting was not with the Chinese leader but with the Vietnamese president, it was also to pave the way for Sino-Russian relations. The meeting is expected to strengthen cooperation between the two countries in energy, arms and other fields and further promote bilateral relations. Putin's visit to China has a deeper goal, and he hopes to deepen relations with countries in the global south through the "Belt and Road" Forum for International Cooperation, so as to break the diplomatic and economic blockade imposed by the United States and Western countries against Russia. In addition, he hopes to contact other leaders through the meeting to prepare for the improvement of the Asian and European economic and geopolitical patterns in the future.
In this international event, not only cooperation between China and Russia, but also representatives of more than 140 other countries discussed important topics of international cooperation. This forum will promote the rapid development of the "Belt and Road" for the benefit of the two countries and the people of the world. In addition, Putin's visit will strengthen Sino-Russian cooperation and make positive contributions to the reform and development of the international pattern.
To sum up, China's first big order to Kazakhstan, instead of Russia's Putin, reflects the deep friendship and cooperation potential between China and Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan's special geographical position in Central Asia provides an important guarantee for China's cooperation in the region, and the complementary cooperation model between China and Kazakhstan has achieved remarkable results in many fields. At the same time, Putin's visit has also injected new impetus into China-Russia relations, which will help promote the further development of bilateral relations, jointly address global challenges, and make positive contributions to the prosperity and peaceful development of international cooperation.
China's initiatives at the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation and its cooperation with Russia reflect China's openness and determination to actively participate in international affairs. This will not only help promote the transformation and development of the countries of the Global South, but also provide the international community with a platform for multilateral cooperation and help promote the realization of world peace and prosperity.
In conclusion, the successful convening of this international event and the active participation of leaders of various countries have given us hope for international cooperation and opened up broader prospects for future development and prosperity. Whether it is the cooperation between China and Kazakhstan or the friendship between China and Russia, it will play an active role in international affairs and jointly promote the development of the global economy and the improvement of international relations. This is China's mission and responsibility on the international stage, and it is also the common aspiration of all countries. May the future cooperation be smoother, the friendship more profound, and jointly meet the challenges and opportunities in the future.
