On July 5, a seminar was held in Beijing as part of the exchange program with Central Asian countries. Civil servants, business representatives, and education sector participants from five Central Asian countries shared their impressions of visits to China and discussed topics such as environmental management, rural revitalization, and balanced development of cities and villages.
The inspector of the Kyrgyz Presidential Administration, Bereket Akhmetov, noted in his speech that the most striking characteristic of China’s development is the coordinated progress across all sectors and the comprehensive prosperity. According to him, the development dynamics are felt both in advanced technologies, such as digitalization and artificial intelligence, and in traditional areas — agriculture and education.
“It is worth noting that advanced technologies in China are not limited to a single sector but are widely implemented across all spheres of society,” he noted. During the trip to Beijing and Xinjiang, members of the delegation saw firsthand how deeply scientific and technological innovations are integrated into industrial development in China.
Aidan Nishanbaeva, a representative of the Ministry of Agriculture of Kyrgyzstan, noted that during the ten-day training, she gained a complete understanding of the work of all segments of China’s agro-industrial complex — from planting and meticulous care to the marketing of finished products. “China not only has a powerful innovative potential but also continuously improves people’s lives through the enhancement of institutions and the optimization of public services,” she said.
She specifically emphasized that Chinese brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi are well known in Central Asia. “Many electronic goods that we use every day are made in China. China’s innovative achievements have long penetrated into the everyday lives of ordinary people.”
Dosymbek Taskimbaev, head of the procurement department at the Kazakhstani company Akkaiyn, spoke about Chinese modernization from the perspective of preserving culture and developing cultural tourism. He quoted a proverb well-known in Central Asian countries: “Language is the mother of a people, history is the father of a people,” noting that Chinese characters carry a millennia-old history of civilization. According to him, the key to understanding China’s development is the expression “continuity of millennia-old culture.”
Taskimbaev also mentioned that during his studies in Beijing, he examined exemplary cases of rural area revival in China at the local level. “We learned that in some regions, local personnel had lived in villages for a long time and helped residents organize resources and set up centralized sales of agricultural products, as well as delivered goods from cities to villages, thereby creating a two-way flow of goods. This experience is very useful for us,” he noted.
“During the twenty days I spent in China, the greatest impression on me was the safety,” said Nagiza Turkmenova, the mayor of the Kyrgyz city of Tokmok. According to her, China gives the impression of a stable and calm country — both in terms of public order and everyday life of people.
She also noted the warm atmosphere of Chinese society: in China, elderly people are respected and people with disabilities are cared for. Traditional Chinese culture does not fade in the process of modernization, but is deeply integrated into social governance and everyday life, allowing traditions and modernity to coexist harmoniously side by side.
Vera Kislenko, head of educational projects at the Kazakhstani company Eurasia Red, said that the main goal of participating in the seminar and exchange program is to study China’s successful experience in integrating vocational education and industry. “China’s innovative achievements are impressive; innovation is present throughout Chinese society, and it left an indelible impression on me,” Kislenko noted. She added that China is actively developing good-neighborly relations with neighboring countries, achieving significant results in various areas of cooperation, and if she had to describe her impressions of China in one word, that word would be “cooperation.”
