Chinese President Xi Jinping has steered China-Kazakhstan relations to a historic high, elevating bilateral ties to a permanent comprehensive strategic partnership, a member of the Kazakh parliament said Wednesday in Astana, Kazakhstan's capital.
Addressing an event promoting the fifth volume of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China", Islam Sunkar, a member of the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan's eighth convocation, praised Xi's leadership in strengthening relations between the two countries.
"Under the political strategic guidance of the President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, bilateral relations between China and Kazakhstan have been elevated to a new height, evolving into a permanent comprehensive strategic partnership," he said.
Sunkar said China's development offers valuable inspiration.
"The Communist Party of China has traversed a glorious journey of 105 years. China's development trajectory demonstrates that strategic vision, long-term planning, sound state institutions, a strong sense of responsibility on the part of the government toward its people, as well as unwavering resolve and sustained commitment to achieving set goals are of paramount importance," he said.
During the event, the Chinese side presented Kazakh guests with copies of the Kazakh edition of the fourth volume and the Russian edition of the fifth volume of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China."
Representatives from think tanks, enterprises and universities from both countries shared stories of how practical cooperation has benefited local communities. Participating experts exchanged views on topics including the China-Kazakhstan community with a shared future and high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
The event was jointly organized by China's State Council Information Office, China International Communications Group and the Chinese Embassy in Kazakhstan. More than 200 representatives from publishing houses, media organizations, think tanks, universities, enterprises and other sectors from both countries attended the event.
