My Understanding of China
The GDI will continue to uphold the spirit of openness and inclusiveness, inject momentum into efforts to address development deficits, and provide all nations with greater and fairer access to the fruits of development.
Five years after Chinese President Xi Jinping launched the Global Development Initiative (GDI) at the United Nations, the framework has grown from policy vision into more than 200 projects across over 70 developing nations.

Over five years, the Global Development Initiative (GDI) has grown from a Chinese proposal into a multilateral effort backed by more than 130 countries and international organizations, restoring development to the center of global governance.
Kyrgyzstan-China relations have passed through three distinct stages—border stabilization, institutionalization and infrastructure integration—and are now entering a fourth: economic connectivity on a transcontinental scale.
