Kazakhstan looks forward to better coordinating development strategies with China as the two countries maintain close political and economic ties, said Shakhrat Nuryshev, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to China, in Beijing on Friday.

Nuryshev made the remark in an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) on the sideline of the China-SCO Investment Cooperation Forum.

He said Kazakhstan has been paying close attention to China's fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), which set the direction for the country's development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030).

"Speaking honestly, the influence of the just-concluded fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee reached beyond China's domestic affairs. It attracted wide attention from countries around the world and Kazakhstan closely followed the plenary session and attaches great importance to its outcomes. Most importantly, the session set the overall direction for China's future development, namely the framework of the 15th Five-Year Plan. That also holds great significance for us, because Kazakhstan, as one of the neighbor countries of China, maintains close political ties with the country, and the leaders of our two countries have friendly and well-coordinated interactions," he said.

Nuryshev also highlighted Kazakhstan's willingness to strengthen cooperation with China and to better coordinate the development strategies of the two countries.

"Currently, Kazakhstan and China also have close cooperation in investment. There are about 270 Kazakhstan-China investment projects, with a total value of 75 billion U.S. dollars. We hope to continue to strengthen cooperation with China in the future and involve more Chinese investors in new projects, because Kazakhstan has vast potential for development and attaches great importance to cooperation with China in advanced and new technology, artificial intelligence, big data and other fields. As China has grand strategies for promoting the development of these fields, we are looking forward to well coordinating our two countries' development strategies," he said.

ROK president calls for learning lesson from anti-aggression history

The Republic of Korea (ROK) and China should cherish the historical experience of jointly resisting aggression and continue to work together for a prosperous future, said ROK President Lee Jae Myung.

At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Lee will pay a state visit to China from Jan 4 to 7. It will be Lee's first visit to China since he took office last year.

In an interview with China Media Group (CMG) in Seoul on Wednesday, Lee said that humanity must learn from the past to prevent the tragedy of war from repeating itself.

"While pursuing their own national interests to the fullest extent, countries must not harm the national interests of others, but should coexist peacefully. The act of invading other countries and massacring their people for one's own benefit must never be repeated. History of humanity often repeats itself, therefore we must learn from the past. In this regard, I believe the historical experience of ROK and China in resisting aggression and fighting together is invaluable. Of course, while historical experience is important, we cannot remain stuck in the past. For a better future for the people of both countries, we need to continuously explore possibilities for working together towards the future," said the president.
