ASTANA, June 22 (Xinhua) -- China-Central Asia cooperation in the new era is set to drive regional development, enhance well-being, and offer a model for building a community with a shared future for humanity, said a Xinhua think tank report released on Sunday.
The three major China-proposed global initiatives should guide regional cooperation, said the report titled "Championing the China-Central Asia Spirit: Achievements, Opportunities and Prospects for Regional Cooperation," released by Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with Xinhua News Agency. Those initiatives are the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative.
The two sides have forged a China-Central Asia Spirit of "mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit, and mutual assistance for the joint pursuit of modernization through high-quality development." The report said that future cooperation should uphold the principles of mutual support, common development, universal security and everlasting friendship.
China and Central Asian countries should work to strengthen the foundation of a regional community with a shared future, usher in a new chapter of prosperity, build a shared shield for security and stability, and foster deeper people-to-people ties, according to the report.
With a shared commitment to serving the interests of their peoples and building a brighter future, China and Central Asia have made the historic choice to create an even closer China-Central Asian community with a shared future, demonstrating their determination to elevate cooperation to a higher level, with higher standards and greater quality, it said.
