Belt and Road Trade Cooperation Between Chinese and Kyrgyz Enterprises: Status, Drivers, and Prospects
Abstract
China and Kyrgyzstan's trade relationship has grown quickly since the start of the Belt and Road plan. China has been Kyrgyzstan's biggest trade partner and source of imports for years. This paper looks at the current state, traits, and cooperation methods of trade between the two countries' businesses under the Belt and Road plan. The study shows that the total trade between the two countries is growing fast, but it still goes up and down. Their trade structures clearly complement each other; China mainly exports industrial products like textiles, clothing, and shoes, while it imports minerals like gold from Kyrgyzstan. In recent years, high-level diplomacy, strategic alignment, and multi-level cooperation have strongly driven trade cooperation between the two countries.
Big trade problems like trade imbalances, Kyrgyzstan's business situation, and geopolitics remain. Projects like the China-Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan railway and teamwork in digital economy and green energy can improve trade potential and help ensure a great future.
