China is ready to help Central Asian nations bolster their security and defense capabilities, said President of China Xi Jinping, APA reports citing BNN Bloomberg.
China can help the region improve its “law enforcement, security, and defense capability construction,” Xi said during a keynote speech at the inaugural in-person China-Central Asia Summit.
The event assembled the leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for two days in the Chinese city of Xi’an, where they discussed ways to deepen ties on everything from defense to finance, trade and energy.
