Wang Yi said, “China-Kyrgyzstan relations have withstood the tests of trials and tribulations and gone through an extraordinary journey.
Under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the two countries have become good neighbors, good friends, good partners and good brothers in a very real sense.
There are no major differences or unresolved issues between the two countries. What the two sides should carry forward is a closer friendship, and what the two sides should strive for is more cooperation.
Standing at a new historical starting point, China is ready to take the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties as an opportunity to join hands with Kyrgyzstan to open up a brighter future for bilateral cooperation and deliver more benefits to the Chinese and Kyrgyz people.”
