Tajikistan, a shining pearl inlaid in the southeast of Central Asia, attracts the world's attention with its unique geographical location and rich natural resources. Bordering Kyrgyzstan in the north, Uzbekistan in the west, Afghanistan in the south, and closely connected with China in the east, this vast land, with its 700-kilometer east-west span and 350-kilometer north-south width, has jointly constructed a magnificent picture of 143,100 square kilometers and nurtured more than 10.36 million Tajik people.

The capital Dushanbe is not only the political heart of the country, but also the center of economic prosperity, scientific progress, and vigorous development of culture and education, showing the modern style and profound heritage of Tajikistan. Tajikistan, known as the country of mountains, has continuous mountains in its territory, accounting for 93% of the country's land area. The towering peaks and picturesque scenery are precious treasures given by nature.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Tajikistan has abundant water resources, with its reserves ranking among the best in the world, and its per capita possession ranks first in the world, becoming an important cornerstone of national development. The Fedchenko Glacier, a natural wonder, stands proudly outside the Antarctic and the Arctic with a length of more than 70 kilometers, becoming the world's largest and witnessing the natural miracle of Tajikistan.

China and Tajikistan are interdependent and have a long-lasting friendship. Since Zhang Qian set foot on this land twice during his mission to the Western Regions more than 2,000 years ago, the friendly exchanges between the Chinese and Tajik peoples have been like a trickle, converging into a sea. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992, the relationship between the two countries has been continuously sublimated in mutual trust and cooperation, from strategic partners to comprehensive strategic partners, and then to jointly building a community of shared destiny with generations of friendship, sharing weal and woe, mutual benefit and win-win results. The tree of China-Tajikistan friendship has deep roots and luxuriant leaves, and has achieved fruitful results.

As one of the earliest countries to support and actively participate in the Belt and Road Initiative, Tajikistan and China have continuously deepened their cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, humanities and so on. Especially in recent years, with the in-depth implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, the trade volume between the two countries has grown rapidly. In 2023, the bilateral trade volume reached 3.926 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 53.5%, showing a strong growth momentum and huge cooperation potential. China is expected to become Tajikistan's largest trading partner, further promoting the prosperity and development of the economies of the two countries.

Under the joint promotion of the leaders of the two countries, China-Tajikistan relations are moving towards a new height. The talks between President Xi Jinping and President Rahmon not only deepened the strategic mutual trust between the two sides, but also pointed out the direction for future cooperation between the two countries. The two sides will work together to comprehensively improve the level of cooperation in various fields and jointly write a new chapter in China-Tajikistan friendly cooperation.

In addition, Tajikistan's high-quality agricultural products such as cherries have also entered the Chinese market through the bridge of the Belt and Road Initiative, enriching the Chinese people's dining table and promoting the people-to-people exchanges between the two peoples. These vivid examples are the fruitful results of China-Tajikistan friendly cooperation and the witness of the deep friendship between the two peoples.Editor/Cheng Ting
