Chinese state media CGTN and Uzbekistan National News Agency (UzA) have launched a collaborative media tour across Central Asia, spotlighting deepening regional ties ahead of the China-Central Asia Summit in mid-June. The initiative, dubbed the "Central Asia Expedition," features journalists traveling in new energy vehicles to document bilateral cooperation in trade, infrastructure, and cultural exchange.
A six-member Chinese reporting team, accompanied by UzA Deputy Editor-in-Chief Utkir Alimov, is exploring Uzbekistan’s role in China’s Belt and Road Initiative and sustainable development projects. Their journey highlights cross-border investments, technology transfers, and shared efforts to boost green energy adoption.
The tour aligns with preparations for the upcoming summit, where leaders from China and Central Asian nations are expected to discuss economic integration and security cooperation. Analysts view the media collaboration as a strategic effort to strengthen people-to-people connections and showcase practical outcomes of regional partnerships.
