When both sides listed the China Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan Railway and the China Kyrgyzstan Railway as priority projects for promotion, the construction drawings for energy and transportation cooperation between the two countries have moved from paper to the piling stage.

Photovoltaic base lights up Uzbekistan's power grid

The 1-gigawatt photovoltaic project undertaken by China Energy Engineering Corporation has an annual power generation of 2.4 billion kilowatt hours, making it the largest single photovoltaic power station in Central Asia. The underground gas storage facility designed by PetroChina has a storage capacity of 1.5 billion cubic meters, which will provide key support for Uzbekistan's natural gas peak shaving. In the first quarter, China's investment in Ukraine was about 2.2 billion US dollars, accounting for one-third of the total foreign investment in Ukraine during the same period, mainly flowing into the energy and transportation sectors. Wufangzheng is accelerating the transition to green energy and plans to increase the proportion of renewable energy to 54% in the next five years.

Prime Minister's meeting locks in priority railway projects

Li Qiang clearly stated that he will deepen cooperation with Ukraine in key areas such as energy and transportation connectivity, and focus on promoting major joint projects such as the China Kyrgyzstan Railway. Both sides discussed the prospects of expanding bilateral partnership in a complex international environment. China emphasized simplifying trade and investment procedures, expanding Chinese enterprises' investment in Ukraine, increasing imports of high-quality products from Ukraine, and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese investors. The Ukrainian side reiterates the One China principle and is willing to expand cooperation in multiple fields.

Replacing single point output with full industry chain cooperation

Chinese enterprises have shifted from undertaking single projects to deeply participating in the full chain layout of energy and transportation in Ukraine. Enterprises such as China Energy Engineering Corporation, PetroChina, and China Road and Bridge Corporation are simultaneously advancing in the fields of photovoltaics, energy storage, natural gas storage, and railway construction. After this high-level meeting, both sides also reached a consensus on cooperation between multilateral platforms such as the United Nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The track panels and photovoltaic panels of the China Asia railway network are extending westward, and China Ukraine cooperation is moving from project cooperation to institutional connectivity.Editor/Gao Xue
