Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit Kazakhstan next week to attend a key Central Asia-China summit, the Kazakh presidency announced on Wednesday.
Xi is set to arrive in Astana on June 16 for bilateral talks, with the summit taking place the following day. Leaders from Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan will also participate.
This will mark the second Central Asia-China summit, following the inaugural meeting two years ago.
The summit reflects China’s expanding influence in the region, where it competes with Russia for strategic and economic dominance. The area is a critical link in Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative, which channels major infrastructure investments to build political and trade partnerships.
Rich in natural resources, Central Asia is increasingly turning to China and other international partners to diversify its foreign ties—especially since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which triggered regional efforts to reduce reliance on Moscow.
