Central Asia shares a border with China and holds a significant position in China's foreign relations.Despite the region consisting of only five countries,its importance is intricately linked to China's major diplomatic strategies,including relations with major countries,neighboring countries,developing nations,and multilateral diplomacy.Strengthening and enhancing the effectiveness of China's diplomacy in Central Asia,along with increasing investments in research on Central Asian affairs,are crucial tasks for our country in the new era.In the current complex international and regional landscape,the geopolitical significance of Central Asia has become even more pronounced.In recent years,we have observed a marked increase in attention and investment from external major countries in the Central Asia region,with the emergence and upgrading of various"C5+1"mechanisms serving as clear evidence.Central Asian countries have also faced numerous challenges amid complex internal and external situations,with three of them experiencing varying degrees of domestic unrest in 2022 alone.These developments present a series of opportunities and challenges for China's diplomacy in Central Asia.Thanks to China's respect for Central Asian countries and the friendly cooperation based on the principle of mutual benefit and win-win outcomes,China's diplomacy in Central Asia has achieved significant results over the past three decades.The political trust between the two sides has reached new heights,laying a solid foundation for enhancing and upgrading bilateral relations in the next phase.At the same time,changes in the era and situation,as well as the evolving development needs of Central Asian countries,have placed new demands on deepening bilateral relations.This offers an opportunity for the establishment of regional country studies.We should seize this opportunity to advance in-depth and detailed research on Central Asia;innovate in policy thinking and improve measures at the policy level;and with more comprehensive thinking and well-considered actions,ensure the steady and far-reaching progress of China's diplomacy in Central Asia,achieving coordinated development between both sides.
