Trade between Kyrgyzstan and China reached nearly $23 billion last year, exceeding Kyrgyzstan's GDP, says Djoomart Otorbaev, former prime minister of the Kyrgyz Republic. He highlights that a new railway project linking China, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan will transform Kyrgyzstan from a landlocked to a land-connected country. Otorbaev noted that the railway will enhance trade between China and Europe through Central Asia, the Caspian Sea and Türkiye. | CGTN
