This year marks the 10th anniversary of the "the Belt and Road" initiative and the 31st anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the five Central Asian countries. China and the five Central Asian countries are friendly neighbors and comprehensive strategic partners. Central Asia is the place where the "the Belt and Road" initiative was initiated, and also a model area where the "the Belt and Road" cooperation achieved results. From May 18th to 19th, the China China Asia Summit will be held in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. Foreign media have paid high attention to this summit and published reports, actively evaluating China's relations with Central Asian countries and the significance of the China China Asia Summit. On the 9th, the website of the American magazine "Diplomatic Scholar" published a report titled "The upcoming China Central Asia Summit will chart a new blueprint for bilateral relations". The report states that "China in Central Asia" has been a hot topic in geopolitical dialogue since at least 2013. The report cites the statement made by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin at a regular press conference on the 8th, stating that the China China Asia Summit will "create a new blueprint for China Central Asia relations and usher in a new era of cooperation between the two sides". The Manila Times of the Philippines reported that China's relations with Central Asian countries are becoming increasingly close. According to the report, the China China Asia Summit will witness the relationship between Beijing and the five Central Asian countries to a new level. Observers say that in the face of new challenges and risks, participating countries are expected to reach new cooperation consensus and achieve fruitful and comprehensive results in politics, economy, and multiple fields in the future. Analysts say that as China's economy continues to recover, its diplomatic exchanges around the world are becoming increasingly close. China will use the China Central Asia Summit to build on recent significant progress by reaching visa free travel agreements with several countries and regional governments. The governments of Kazakhstan and China plan to conclude a mutual visa exemption agreement. According to the new regulations, travelers who enter without a visa can stay for 30 days after entering the country. The agreement is expected to be signed and take effect at the summit held in Xi'an. Prior to this, Uzbekistan approved a two-week visa free travel for Chinese tourists, and Kyrgyzstan is currently negotiating with Beijing on its own visa free arrangements, hoping to boost its economy by increasing cross-border trade, investment, and tourism. Foreign media reported that China's "the Belt and Road" foreign policy has injected new vitality into the development of Central Asia. China regards Central Asia as an integral part of its long-term economic strategy for Eurasia. The report also suggests that visa free travel, investment, and the upcoming summit herald a "new era" of cooperation between China and Central Asia. Rafael Pantuch, Senior Researcher at the Rajaratnam Institute of International Studies at Nanyang Polytechnic University in Singapore, stated that this is also a clear message:
