The Foreign Minister of China also noted that in the future the Chinese-Kyrgyz relations should embody the following four key words.

"We have a new stage in our bilateral relationship. We appreciate Kyrgyzstan's support and the domestic and foreign policy with the Chinese government. This is about commitment to the principles of One China, as well as understanding and support for the measures we have taken in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region for deradicalization. We will also support Kyrgyzstan's efforts to ensure national stability, economic development, and public welfare," he concluded.
