BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — The organizing committee of the Xinjiang International Mining and Machinery Expo said on Thursday that two specialized forums dedicated to Central Asia will be added to the event, which will be held from July 18 to 20, 2025.
The first forum will be devoted to issues of cooperation between Central Asia and the Silk Road countries in the mining industry, while the second will discuss issues of development of the mining industry in the context of the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway.
According to Hu Yaoguang, Secretary General of the Organizing Committee of the Expo, 2025-2026 have been declared the “Years of High-Quality Development of China-Central Asia Cooperation.” Within the framework of this cooperation, six priority areas have been approved: unimpeded trade, industrial investment, infrastructure connectivity, “green” mining, agricultural modernization, and people-to-people exchanges. This creates political support for the successful implementation of the projects.
According to him, the second China-Central Asia summit was recently held in Astana /Kazakhstan/, during which China and the five Central Asian countries reached a number of cooperation agreements, giving new impetus to interaction in the region. Against this background, the addition of two Central Asian forums to the Xinjiang Mining Expo is aimed at further deepening and specifying China's multilateral cooperation with the Central Asian countries.
The mining industry is one of the key sectors in the Central Asian economy and an important area of cooperation between China and the countries in the region. Since its establishment, the Xinjiang Mining Expo has always paid great attention to building a platform for mining exchanges between China and Central Asia.
Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region /Northwest China/, as a key area of the Silk Road Economic Belt and with the geographical advantage of a common border with Central Asian countries, serves as a frontier for cooperation in the mining industry. The construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, a landmark cooperation project between the three countries under the Belt and Road Initiative, will dramatically improve the region's transport and logistics conditions, opening up new opportunities for cooperation in the mining sector. -0-
