Ürümqi, November 3 (Xinhua) — Since the visa-free travel agreement between China and Uzbekistan officially came into effect on June 1, the Irkeshtam border crossing point in northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) has continued to operate at full capacity. Five months after the agreement was implemented, the crossing point has seen a significant increase in the flow of people and increased trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.

Recently, at the security checkpoint, Uzbek travelers, passports in hand, were orderly processed through border control under the supervision of border guards. Meanwhile, more than ten trucks loaded with consumer goods and mechanical equipment awaited inspection before heading to Andijan, Uzbekistan.

As a key hub of the international transport corridor from China to Kyrgyzstan, extending to Uzbekistan, the Irkeshtam checkpoint, with its geographical advantages, has seen renewed development following the implementation of the visa-free regime. According to official data, since the beginning of this year, approximately 14,000 Uzbek citizens have passed through this checkpoint in both directions, almost three times more than the same period last year.

"Transportation time has been significantly reduced now! The 24-hour service has simplified the customs process, ensuring our smooth passage," said Uzbek truck driver Bobir Kenjaev, who regularly travels between China and Uzbekistan.

According to data, since the introduction of the visa-free regime between China and Uzbekistan this year, more than 8,000 Uzbek citizens have crossed the border in both directions through the Irkeshtam checkpoint. Faced with a rapid increase in passenger traffic following the introduction of the visa-free regime, the Irkeshtam checkpoint has proactively implemented appropriate measures, including a smart allocation of checkpoint resources, an increase in the number of inspection channels during peak hours, and an optimized traffic regime with the separation of people and vehicles. This has effectively increased the checkpoint's capacity and ensured a smooth and stable entry and exit process.

"We are closely monitoring the dynamics of border crossings by Uzbek travelers since the introduction of the visa-free regime, and are constantly optimizing the organization of the service and customs control procedures, making every effort to ensure safe, efficient, and unhindered passage for travelers between the two countries in accordance with the mutual visa-free regime agreement," said Irkeshtam border crossing officer Wang Yongyan.

Thanks to 24/7 customs clearance and an intelligent inspection system, the range of goods transported through the Irkeshtam checkpoint has expanded from traditional consumer goods to high-value-added products such as new energy vehicles and mechanical equipment. This corridor, running through China's western outskirts, is becoming an important logistics artery connecting Asian and European markets.

Kuwait, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) — China attaches great importance to its relations with Kuwait and is willing to promote bilateral practical cooperation in various fields, said Chinese Vice President Han Zheng, who is visiting the country from Saturday to Sunday.

During his visit, Han Zheng held separate meetings with the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshaal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Sabah, and Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmed Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah.

During a meeting with the Emir of Kuwait, the Vice President of China said that China has always valued its friendship with Kuwait and attaches great importance to the development of relations between the two countries.

Since 2022, Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Emir of Kuwait have met twice and reached a number of important agreements, which have provided strategic guidance for developing relations between the two countries to a higher level, Han Zheng added.

According to him, the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC Central Committee) sent a clear signal that China continues to advance comprehensive reform and expand high-level opening-up, which will create opportunities for the development of China-Kuwait relations.

China is willing to work with Kuwait to deepen political mutual trust, implement the bilateral cooperation documents signed in the presence of the two heads of state, and strive to achieve substantive progress as soon as possible, so as to ensure the deep and lasting development of the strategic partnership, Han Zheng said.

He noted that the Global Governance Initiative, proposed by Xi Jinping, has set a course for reforming and improving the global governance system. China hopes that Kuwait will actively support this initiative and welcomes Kuwait's participation in the Group of Friends of the Global Governance Initiative.

China highly appreciates Kuwait's long-term support and assistance in developing cooperation between China and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Han Zheng said, expressing hope that Kuwait, as the current chair of the GCC, will continue to exert a positive influence in this direction.

The Kuwaiti Emir, in turn, noted that Kuwait was the first Arab state in the Persian Gulf to establish diplomatic relations with China, which reflects the strategic and promising nature of bilateral relations.

According to him, Kuwait highly appreciates and supports the Global Governance Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative and the Global Development Initiative proposed by the Chinese President.

Reaffirming his country's firm commitment to the one-China policy, the Emir expressed Kuwait's readiness to cooperate with China in jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative, effectively implementing relevant bilateral cooperation documents, and advancing Kuwaiti-Chinese relations to a higher level.

The Emir added that Kuwait is also ready to actively promote cooperation between the GCC and China, as well as between Arab countries and China, to a new level.

During talks with Kuwaiti Crown Prince Han Zheng said that Kuwait is a country with unique and significant influence in the Middle East, and China has always paid important attention to Kuwait in its foreign policy in the region.

According to him, under the strategic leadership of the President of the People's Republic of China and the Emir of Kuwait, the strategic partnership between the two countries has continued to develop in recent years.

Noting that next year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Kuwait, Han Zheng said China is willing to seize this opportunity to work with the Kuwaiti side to implement the important agreements reached by the two heads of state, deepen political mutual trust, strengthen practical cooperation in various fields, and elevate bilateral relations to a new level.

China is also willing to strengthen coordination with Kuwait to promote greater progress in China's cooperation with Arab and Gulf countries, and jointly promote multilateralism and develop global governance in a more fair and equitable direction.

The Kuwaiti Crown Prince stated that the friendship between Kuwait and China is deep and lasting, and that Kuwait supports China in safeguarding its core interests and is willing to expand cooperation with China, implement bilateral cooperation projects, and promote the further development of Kuwait-China relations.

Noting that the world order is undergoing profound changes, the Crown Prince said Kuwait firmly supports multilateralism and highly appreciates China's adherence to justice in international affairs and its fair position on the Palestinian issue, adding that Kuwait is willing to strengthen multilateral coordination with China and make joint efforts to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East.

During a meeting with Kuwaiti Prime Minister Han Zheng said that China and Kuwait are good friends and partners, and bilateral relations have made positive progress in recent years.

He also noted that cooperation between China and Kuwait is complementary and has great potential, adding that China is willing to work with Kuwait to strengthen practical cooperation based on mutual benefit and win-win results, effectively promote key projects, and take the strategic partnership between China and Kuwait to a new level.

The Prime Minister, in turn, stated that Kuwait values friendship and mutual trust with China, adding that his country is ready to work with China to implement the important agreements reached by the heads of state and accelerate the implementation of bilateral cooperation projects so that the high level of bilateral relations leads to more tangible results of cooperation and opens a new chapter in bilateral ties. –0–

Bishkek, November 3 (Xinhua) — The China International Import Expo (CIIE) is a global public good in the import sector and has become a gateway to the world's largest consumer market, Tolonbek Abdyrov, Doctor of Economics, Professor, and Vice-Rector of the International Higher School of Medicine in the Kyrgyz Republic, told Xinhua.

The 8th CIIE will be held in Shanghai, China, from November 5 to 10 this year. T. Abdyrov praises the Expo's role in promoting the continuous improvement of the business environment and the win-win benefits of Chinese and foreign enterprises.

"The CIIE itself is essentially a global public good for imports," he noted, adding that China has sent a clear signal of openness and backed this up with a specific operational "machine"—a meeting calendar, comprehensive services for participants, and regulatory and customs support—all of which helps to significantly reduce information and transaction costs for foreign suppliers.

According to statistics from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, the exhibition space for the 8th CIIE exceeds 367,000 square meters, and the number of exhibiting companies at the upcoming Expo has increased by more than 600 compared to 3,496 at a similar event last year. "This speaks to the depth of the showcase. Meanwhile, China's macroeconomic backdrop remains favorable," the expert believes, stating that, according to positive forecasts from international institutions, the country will continue to act as an anchor for global demand.

T. Abdyrov believes that the CIIE is an excellent platform for showcasing new products. "Previous expos showcased numerous new products, technologies, and services from around the world, covering sectors such as artificial intelligence, new materials, autonomous systems, and energy transition technologies," he said. "The CIIE has become a gateway to the largest consumer market."

China is currently continuously promoting high-quality opening up to the outside world, which deeply impressed T. Abdyrov. He noted that China has taken a number of measures in this area, including reducing the negative list for foreign investment, completely lifting restrictions on foreign investment in manufacturing, and accelerating the expansion of openness in the service sector.

"Amid weak global growth, China has placed its bets on 'high-quality openness'—not on slogans, but on rules that actually make market entry cheaper," the Kyrgyz economist emphasized.

In his view, China's inclusiveness is demonstrated by the country's not only lowering barriers but also helping its partners build their own manufacturing base, as demonstrated by Chinese initiatives such as the Global Development Initiative and the Belt and Road Initiative.

"For countries around the world, particularly those in the Global South, this means access to markets and capital, as well as the transfer of standards and technologies to existing projects. This is how raw materials exports are gradually transforming into exports with greater added value," said T. Abdyrov, adding that the aforementioned Chinese initiatives and the CIIE constitute an integrated system that is supporting the global economic recovery.

This year, Kyrgyzstan will be participating in the CIIE for the first time. According to T. Abdyrov, Kyrgyzstan's debut at the Expo is timely. "The national pavilion is not just a beautiful stand, but a 'corridor of trust' for the 'Made in Kyrgyzstan' brand," the expert said, asserting that in practice, demand for Kyrgyz products can be seen. –0–

BEIJING, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) — China's push for greater openness and global cooperation was on display at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Meeting in the Republic of Korea.

With its unwavering commitment to high-level openness and strong innovation capabilities, the world's second-largest economy is well-positioned to secure a prosperous future in the Asia-Pacific region and maintain its role as a center of global economic growth.

OPENING WIDDER

The region, dubbed the "Asia-Pacific Miracle," has become a hub for global economic growth and international cooperation, a pillar of stability and development in today's world.

China has long understood that its economic success is closely tied to overall stability and growth in the region. It has consistently pursued a strategy of opening up and innovation to strengthen its own economy while simultaneously exerting a significant influence on the economies of other regions.

“We should systematically expand institutional opening-up, safeguard the multilateral trading system, develop international circulation, and promote reform and development through greater opening-up, thereby sharing opportunities with all countries and striving for common development,” states the Proposals of the CPC Central Committee on the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, recently adopted at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Over the past five years, China has maintained its position as the world's largest trader in goods and the second-largest in services. China has attracted over $700 billion in foreign investment, while its outbound investment has grown by an average of over 5 percent annually. China has also reduced its negative list for foreign investment and expanded its unilateral visa-free policy to more countries.

According to official data, in the first three quarters of 2025, China's import and export volume with other APEC economies increased by 2 percent year-on-year to reach 19.41 trillion yuan (about 2.74 trillion U.S. dollars), accounting for 57.8 percent of China's total import and export volume.

China's economic policies, particularly its high-level opening-up, currently play a crucial role in stimulating regional growth and prosperity. Initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative have strengthened ties between China and other global economies through trade, logistics, and digital infrastructure.

Through cooperation mechanisms such as the Belt and Road Initiative, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the establishment of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (FTA) 3.0, trade barriers in the region will be further reduced, and cooperation will expand in emerging sectors such as green technology, digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI), said Liu Jing, Lead Economist for the Greater China Region at HSBC.

China's rise to global economic power has been impressive, and China's opening to the outside world will continue.

INNOVATION FOR EVERYONE

China places great emphasis on innovation in its economic development, and its breakthroughs in high-tech sectors such as artificial intelligence, robotics and renewable energy have placed it at the forefront of global technological advancements.

Meanwhile, China is not only developing its own economy but also helping accelerate economic growth throughout the Asia-Pacific region. As emphasized at the recently concluded APEC meeting, China aims to "jointly eradicate poverty and promote shared prosperity for all people in the Asia-Pacific region" and "deepen cooperation in open-source technologies while building an open and competitive ecosystem for innovation."

Liu Jing noted that an increasing number of foreign-invested companies are establishing research and development centers in China, choosing the country as their production and innovation hub. At the same time, more and more Chinese companies are expanding their operations globally, opening factories in regions close to end consumers, including in other economies in the Asia-Pacific region.

HSBC believes that China's advancement in AI and robotics will generate spillover effects through its trade and investment network, as China's technological advancement and market advantages will continually provide new growth energy and stability factors for regional cooperation, while APEC members will be able to accelerate their own green transformation and digital upgrading through collaboration in the areas of value chains, capital investment, and innovation, thereby contributing to the progress of the Asia-Pacific region as a whole.

“Mutual learning and interaction enable the Asia-Pacific region to maintain its preeminent position as a global hub for scientific and technological innovation, home to the world’s busiest human, financial, logistics and information networks, as well as some of the most important supply chains,” said Dai Erbiao, director of the Asian Growth Research Institute.

He is confident that, as host of the next APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, China will promote regional cooperation by stimulating emerging environmental industries as new economic growth areas, promoting technological advancement in life sciences and health, supporting the healthy development of AI and other high-tech sectors, and enhancing mutual understanding among APEC members. -0-
