Almaty, March 25 (Xinhua) — The results of the "two sessions" (the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) and the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)) in China open up new opportunities for Kazakhstan and call on the international community to share opportunities and pursue common development. This was stated by Chinese Ambassador to Kazakhstan Han Chunlin in an opinion piece for the Delovoy Kazakhstan newspaper.
It notes that all key economic and social development goals and objectives were successfully achieved last year, and the 14th Five-Year Plan concluded successfully. China continues to contribute to the stability of global production and supply chains, as well as to the development of the global economy.
According to the diplomat, over the next five years, China will focus on high-quality development and, guided by the fundamental principles of the 15th Five-Year Plan, will implement 20 key indicators covering economic development, innovation, people's well-being, green and low-carbon development, and security. China also intends to consistently expand its high-level opening to the outside world, remaining the "world's factory" and striving to become the "world's market."
Han Chunlin said the "two sessions" demonstrate China's determination to further expand opening-up and implement the four global initiatives, as well as promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
Speaking about Chinese-Kazakh relations, the ambassador emphasized that in recent years, political mutual trust between the two countries has steadily deepened, strategic interaction has become increasingly close, and the quality and level of cooperation in various fields has steadily improved, bringing tangible benefits to the peoples of both countries. Last year, the two heads of state held two meetings, during which they reached important agreements on developing cooperation in trade, investment, energy, transport, and high technology.
According to Han Chunlin, bilateral trade between the two countries reached $48.7 billion, an 11 percent increase year-on-year. The two sides also signed new agreements in education, science and technology, and sports. Furthermore, mutual visa-free travel is being actively implemented, and tourism between the two countries is becoming increasingly popular.
China stands ready to work with Kazakhstan to consistently implement the agreements reached at the highest level, deepen the alignment of development strategies, and ensure the shared benefit of development achievements, the ambassador emphasized. The two sides will work together to create a new "golden thirty years" of Chinese-Kazakh relations, Han Chunlin concluded.
