Energy has become the "ballast stone" of economic and trade cooperation between China and Central Asia

In recent years, economic and trade cooperation between China and Central Asian countries has grown actively, and China has become a major trading partner in the Central Asian region. From January to May this year, China's import and export volume with the five Central Asian countries reached 286.42 billion yuan, up 10.4% year-on-year, setting a new record for the same period in history. Meanwhile, energy cooperation continued to play the role of a "ballast stone" in economic and trade cooperation between China and Central Asia.
