Xi Jinping arrived in Bishkek on Sunday for a state visit and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2026, where he and President Japarov signed a treaty on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship, and cooperation.
They also exchanged documents on trade growth and projects like the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, as Xi called their ties a 'golden period' of rapid development. The summit reviews the SCO's 25 years, with Xi later heading to Egypt for its diplomatic anniversary.
