Hey, amigos! 🎉 Big news from Xi'an, a historic city in China that's been a crossroads of cultures for centuries. China and five Central Asian countries—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan—just launched a brand-new secretariat to boost their cooperation! How cool is that? 🌐
On Saturday, representatives from these six nations gathered in Xi'an to kick off this exciting new chapter. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his counterparts from the Central Asian countries sent their heartfelt congratulatory letters. ✉️
Wang Yi, who's not just the Foreign Minister but also a big deal in the Communist Party (he's a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee), gave a shout-out to the strong partnership that's been growing over the past four years under the China-Central Asia mechanism. 🤝
He said that setting up the secretariat shows that the leaders of these countries are serious about working together and that the world is watching their determination to team up for development and cooperation. 🌟
The foreign ministers from the Central Asian countries are super excited, too! They believe this new secretariat will bring fresh energy to their collaboration with China. They're all in to support its work! 🚀
Sun Weidong, China's vice foreign minister, explained that the secretariat's main job is to make sure that the plans and agreements made by the leaders of the six countries come to life. That includes getting ready for the China-Central Asia Summit and helping out with meetings and projects in key areas. 📋
He hopes the secretariat will be an awesome \"servant\" to the China-Central Asia Mechanism, actively doing its duties and providing great services. 🙌
Wu Yingqin, the executive director of the secretariat, echoed these sentiments. He promised that the secretariat will work hard to step up rules, carry out the important decisions from the summit, promote cooperation in key fields, and strive for new achievements together. 🏆
This is a big deal, folks! It's all about countries coming together, building bridges (not walls 😉), and working towards a brighter future. Let's keep an eye on what's next for China and Central Asia! 🌏✨
