BEIJING, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) — Cognac, honey and felt products… The stand of the Kyrgyz Republic attracted the attention of the participants at the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS-2025), which is being held from Sept. 10 to 14 in Shougang Park in western Beijing.
“We represent the export potential, the tourism sector, as well as achievements in the field of high technologies of the Kyrgyz Republic,” noted Bermet Kurmanbaeva, an expert at the Kyrgyz Export Center under the Ministry of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic, who is participating in CIFTIS for the second time.
This year marks the first time the fair is being held in full at Shougang Park, a 3 square kilometer industrial heritage site and one of the host sites of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
According to B. Kurmanbaeva, CIFTIS is an excellent platform for developing trade and economic relations between the two countries. “The scale of the exhibition is very large and we hope to find good Chinese partners here for further cooperation.”
The fair, titled “Using Smart Technologies to Empower Services Trade,” highlights a focus that resonates far beyond China.
“Of course, the fair opens up new opportunities for Kyrgyzstan in the area of finding new partners, demonstrating its successes and expanding contacts for further cooperation,” noted Deputy Director of the High-Tech Park of the Kyrgyz Republic Chubak Temirov.
He added that, on the one hand, the event will help Kyrgyz technology companies enter the Chinese market, find local partners here and sell their services.
“On the other hand, the fair will allow Chinese IT companies to learn about the development of high technologies in our country and choose opportunities to open branches here,” he emphasized.
According to official data, in the first half of 2025, the volume of bilateral trade between China and Kyrgyzstan amounted to 14.25 billion US dollars, which is 53.8 percent more year-on-year. At the same time, China is the largest trading partner of Kyrgyzstan.
In particular, the volume of exports from China to Kyrgyzstan reached USD 10.36 billion, an increase of 13.1 percent, and the volume of imports from Kyrgyzstan to China reached USD 3.89 billion, an increase of 37 times year-on-year.
"The Chinese market is very large. We are glad to see that the Chinese audience has quite a big interest in the authentic products of our country, as well as in our culture and nature," said B. Kurmanbaeva.
According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, China's total service import and export volume exceeded 3.8 trillion yuan (about $532 billion) in the first half of 2025, with an annual growth of 8 percent, demonstrating steady growth in the country's services trade.
As noted by Doctor of Economics, Professor, Vice-Rector of the International Higher School of Medicine in the Kyrgyz Republic Tolonbek Abdyrov, against the backdrop of greater pressure on the growth of global trade in goods, this growth confirms that services are becoming a strategic sector that is forming a new vector of global integration.
Let us recall that this year 85 countries and international organizations, as well as about 2,000 companies, including about 500 companies from the Fortune Global 500 list and leading industry enterprises, are participating in CIFTIS.
T. Abdyrov emphasized that CIFTIS has become an important signal that, as one of the key drivers of the global economy, China maintains its course towards high-level openness and development of trade in services.
“This event is not only a showcase of China’s achievements, but also an invitation to different countries to jointly form new generation rules and practices based on innovation, digitalization and sustainable development,” he concluded. -0-
