Hey there! Have you heard about the growing friendship between China and Kazakhstan? π It’s super exciting!
In 2024, Kazakhstan became China’s biggest trading partner in Central Asia. That means they trade a lot of goods with each other! In fact, they made up 46% of all the trade China did with Central Asia, which is a huge amount. The total trade between China and Kazakhstan was $43.8 billion! That’s a lot of toys, clothes, technology, and more being shared between the two countries.
But that’s not all! In May 2023, China hosted the very first China-Central Asia Summit in Xi’an, a cool city in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province. Leaders from different countries met to talk about how to work together and be better friends.
And guess what? The second summit is happening in Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan, from June 16 to 18, 2025. They’re planning more ways to cooperate and help each other grow. πͺ
This growing partnership is awesome because it helps people from both countries. They can share ideas, learn new things, and make the world a better place together!
Isn’t it amazing how countries can become good friends? Maybe you can think of ways to be a good friend too! π
