The international TV program 'The Classic Quotes by Xi Jinping', produced by China Media Group, premiered in Kazakhstan's Presidential Center on Monday ahead of the second China-Central Asia Summit. The show will air nationwide across all five Central Asian countries—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan—on state television networks and digital platforms.
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev praised the initiative in a congratulatory letter, underscoring its role in strengthening regional ties. The program highlights quotes from ancient Chinese classics frequently cited by Xi Jinping in speeches and writings, focusing on themes like international cooperation, technological progress, environmental sustainability, and cultural innovation.
Erlan Karin, Kazakhstan's state counselor, joined cultural and media representatives from neighboring Central Asian nations in applauding the program. They emphasized its potential to deepen understanding of China's modernization efforts and foster a 'closer community with a shared future' through cultural exchange.
Major Kazakh newspapers, including Kazakhstan Pravda and Sovereign Kazakhstan, featured the launch on their front pages. The broadcast also gained traction via Tajikistan's Hovar news agency and Turkmenistan's News.Net, with additional coverage across Asian and European media outlets.
