China's Xi to attend 2nd China-Central Asia summit in Kazakhstan
- On June 16, 2025, Xi Jinping visited Astana, Kazakhstan, to participate in the second China-Central Asia Summit alongside leaders from the region.
- The summit follows a first meeting in Xi'an in 2023 and occurs amid heightened rivalry with Russia and increased Chinese efforts to secure trade routes and resources.
- Xi held bilateral talks with Kazakh President Tokayev and other Central Asian heads before the summit, which focuses on transport, energy, security, and digital economy cooperation.
- In early 2025, China's commerce with the five Central Asian nations hit a new high of 286.42 billion yuan, driven by a 26.9% increase in imports, while road transportation now accounts for over half of the total trade volume.
- The summit aims to shift from quantity to quality in projects, reinforce the '1+5' dialogue, and enhance strategic ties to protect against US policy risks and encourage regional development.
