Our goal is grand and simple, which is to make our people live a better life.

Xi Jinping stressed that China firmly supports Uzbekistan in safeguarding its national independence, sovereignty and security, and is a reliable friend and partner of Uzbekistan. The two sides should deepen cooperation in jointly building the "Belt and Road", implement the medium- and long-term cooperation plan in economy, trade and investment, accelerate the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, as well as cooperation in photovoltaic, wind power, new energy vehicles and other fields, and continue to strengthen cooperation in poverty reduction and social governance. China supports expanding exchanges between the two countries in the fields of local, tourism, education and other fields, and welcomes Uzbekistan to participate in the 7th China International Import Expo as the guest of honor. China is willing to work with Uzbekistan to accelerate the implementation of the outcomes of the China-Central Asia Xi'an Summit, strengthen coordination and cooperation, and ensure that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization always develops in a direction that is in the common interests of all parties.
