Trade growth leads Central Asia

Among them, China's imports from Kyrgyzstan increased by 86%, and Kyrgyzstan's characteristic agricultural products such as dried fruits and honey are highly welcomed by Chinese consumers. As comprehensive strategic partners, the two countries continue to deepen cooperation under the the Belt and Road Initiative, constantly optimize the trade structure, and make two-way flows more balanced.
