URUMQI, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) — Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's trade with five Central Asian countries reached 276.69 billion yuan (about 39.5 billion U.S. dollars) in 2025, remaining above 270 billion yuan for the third consecutive year, Urumqi Customs said Friday.
According to data, Xinjiang's total foreign trade volume grew by 19.9 percent year-on-year to 520.37 billion yuan last year, exceeding 500 billion yuan for the first time.
A series of measures aimed at expanding Xinjiang's foreign trade contributed to sustainable growth. In 2025, Xinjiang's cross-border e-commerce exports grew by 232.8 percent, while cross-border imports grew by 68.5 percent.
Meanwhile, Xinjiang's import and export volume with Belt and Road Initiative countries reached 458.37 billion yuan by 2025, a 14.7 percent year-on-year increase. Xinjiang also increased its trade with ASEAN, Africa, West Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Notably, Xinjiang's export structure continued to improve: mechanical and electrical product exports totaled 186.5 billion yuan, up 40.7 percent. Among these, shipments of automotive parts, electrical equipment, and electronic components increased significantly, while exports of high-tech equipment related to new-generation production facilities grew by nearly 70 percent.
Exports of agricultural products, including walnuts and grapes, also gained momentum, leading to a 25.4 percent increase in Azerbaijan's total agricultural exports.
Li Qinghua, Deputy Director of Urumqi Customs, said Xinjiang's foreign trade has demonstrated resilience and steady growth despite global challenges. Future efforts will focus on improving regulatory efficiency and service levels to support Xinjiang's high-level opening to the outside world.
