Former Kyrgyz PM: New railway to reshape Central Asia

Chinese President Xi Jinping is on a state visit to Kyrgyzstan and attending the 2026 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit. Ahead of the visit, Xi called for advancing the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway and strengthening both "hard" and "soft" connectivity between the two countries. Speaking to CGTN's Wang Guan, former Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan Djoomart Otorbaev said the railway will become a new "flag" of bilateral cooperation and could transform Central Asia countries from "landlocked" to "land-connected." He said growing cooperation in the digital economy, clean energy and artificial intelligence will drive both countries to achieve modernization jointly. #commentary #FirstVoice #ChinaKyrgyzstan #SCO2026 #SpotlightBishkek #SCO25Years 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
