Kyrgyz Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliyev reaffirmed his country's commitment to deepening economic cooperation with China during the Summer Davos 2025 forum in Tianjin. Speaking to CGTN's Wang Guan, the Central Asian leader highlighted China's position as Kyrgyzstan's largest source of foreign investment and a crucial partner in regional development initiatives.
"Our partnership with China has transformed infrastructure and energy projects across Kyrgyzstan," Kasymaliyev stated, praising Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative. The remarks followed Chinese Premier Li Qiang's keynote address emphasizing win-win cooperation in global supply chain restructuring.
Analysts note Kyrgyzstan's strategic position along key trade routes makes it an attractive destination for Chinese manufacturers seeking to diversify production bases. The Prime Minister extended a formal invitation to technology and renewable energy firms, citing special economic zones offering tax incentives and streamlined regulations.
This bilateral push comes as Central Asian nations increasingly align economic policies with China's development priorities. Recent data shows Chinese investment in Kyrgyzstan grew 18% year-on-year in Q2 2025, primarily in mining, logistics, and green energy sectors.
