Ürümqi, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) — The China-Central and South Asia Rule of Law Forum 2025 kicked off in Kashi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on October 30. Officials from legal agencies, legal experts, scholars, and practicing lawyers from China and Central and South Asian countries are attending the event.
During the forum, participants held in-depth discussions on the topic of “Deepening Legal Cooperation to Support High-Quality Joint Construction of the Belt and Road” and signed seven cooperation agreements.
In his speech, Wang Hongxiang, Vice President of the China Society of Law, emphasized that legal support plays a key role in the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. He called on China and the countries of Central and South Asia to view legal consensus as the foundation, legal norms as the driving force, and legal cooperation as a bridge, continually providing strong legal impetus to promote the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Forum participants believe that legal development is a key pillar in advancing the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative. In the current context, with growing global uncertainty and deepening economic interdependence, establishing a robust cross-border legal framework is particularly urgent.
In recent years, China, drawing on Xinjiang's unique geographical advantages, has steadily deepened legal exchanges and cooperation with Central Asian states, achieving a number of practical achievements. The Urumqi Statement of the Meeting of Supreme Court Chief Justices of China and Central Asian Countries was published, and the Kashgar branch of the Shenzhen International Arbitration Center was officially established. Three representative offices in Khorgos, Alashankou, and Tacheng also began operations this year. The establishment of the China-Central Asia Legal Education Alliance was recently announced, giving new impetus to legal cooperation between the two sides.
The forum was organized by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Law Society, the Guangdong Provincial Law Society, and the China Center for Academic Exchange in Law. -0-
