An event was held in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek on Monday to promote the fifth volume of “Xi Jinping: The Governance of China.”
Participants noted that the event, which coincided with the 25th anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), was of great significance for representatives of all circles from Kyrgyzstan, China and the SCO family, who were able to exchange views on the Chinese president’s work.
This major book systematically expounds the theory and practice of Chinese modernization, vividly presents China’s vision and program for establishing a community with a shared future for mankind, and serves as a reference work for understanding Chinese modernization and contemporary China.
It also provides important guidance for China and Kyrgyzstan to deepen exchanges of governance experiences and strengthen the alignment of their development strategies.
Former Kyrgyz President Roza Otunbayeva stressed that Xi’s vision of establishing a community with a shared future for mankind is an idea and proposal with international influence.
High-quality cooperation around the Belt and Road Initiative has brought new development opportunities and helped Kyrgyzstan gradually transform into a major center of the Eurasian continent, according to Otunbayeva. She added that an in-depth study of China’s internal logic, governance mechanism and development planning is of great practical value.
Speaking at the event, Kyrgyz State Secretary Arslan Koitchiev said that China has successfully adapted Marxism to its national conditions and has accumulated rich experience in integrating Marxism into Chinese reality. In order to understand Marxism in the 21st century, he recommends carefully studying the works of President Xi.
Reading the book can help people deepen their thinking about Kyrgyzstan’s relations with China and the rest of the world, and encourage practical cooperation to promote mutual learning among civilizations as well as development and prosperity, Koitchiev added.
Piao Yangfan, Deputy Secretary-General of the SCO, noted that China and Kyrgyzstan, as founding members of the organization, have made unique contributions to the establishment and development of the Shanghai Five mechanism.
The book, she noted, includes President Xi’s important speeches on building a China-Central Asia community with a shared future and an SCO community with a shared future, providing guidance for strengthening solidarity and coordination among countries in the region, consolidating a secure and stable environment, improving the alignment of development strategies, and promoting closer people-to-people ties.
During the event, China gifted Kyrgyz guests with copies of the Kyrgyz-language edition of the third volume and the Russian-language edition of the fifth volume of “Xi Jinping: The Governance of China.”
At the same time, representatives of Kyrgyz medical personnel and journalists shared stories of cooperation between the two countries in practicing the people-first philosophy.
Participating experts also exchanged views on topics such as Chinese modernization, building a community with a shared future for mankind, the Global Governance Initiative, the Belt and Road Initiative and mutual learning among civilizations.
The event was jointly organized by the Information Office of the State Council of China, the China International Communications Group and the Chinese Embassy in Kyrgyzstan. Around 300 representatives from political parties, media organizations, think tanks and other sectors from both countries attended.
