Central Asia is a must-pass route for China to reach the Middle East Africa and Europe over land

With blockades on its southeastern coast, Central Asia is a must-pass route for China to reach the Middle East, Africa, and Europe over land. It borders Russia to the north and Afghanistan to the south. In fact, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has been the largest trading partner for Central Asian countries, and the land transportation of the five Central Asian countries without access to the sea has been mostly blocked by surrounding major countries. Their import and export trade rely largely on Russia. The convening of this summit actually involves the geopolitical game between Asia and Europe and seeks a new way out for the import and export trade of the five Central Asian countries.
