Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday that the country's cumulative investment in Central Asia has now exceeded 30 billion U.S. dollars.
This milestone underscores China's growing economic engagement in the region, reflecting strategic investments across infrastructure, energy, and trade sectors aimed at fostering regional development and enhancing bilateral cooperation.
As the region's leading foreign investor, China has increasingly funded various sectors such as green development and the digital economy in recent years, reports CGTN.
The country has also expanded cooperation in 5G networks, the Internet of Things (IoT), and smart city initiatives, driving the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
Meanwhile, China is the major partner for Central Asian countries in project contracting.
As of April 2025, China has signed 120.1 billion U.S. dollars worth of contracted projects with the heartland of the Eurasian continent, achieving a turnover of 75.6 billion U.S. dollars.
Besides, the bilateral economic and trade cooperation continues to deepen.
China has signed new investment agreements with Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, while also initiating negotiations on trade in services and investment agreements with Kyrgyzstan.
These efforts will provide more robust institutional guarantees for trade and investment cooperation between China and Central Asian.
