Your Excellency President Japarov,

尊敬的扎帕罗夫总统，

Dear Colleagues:

各位同事：

It is a great pleasure to gather with colleagues in Bishkek. I thank President Japarov for the meticulous arrangements he has made for this meeting. Since Kyrgyzstan assumed the presidency, it has focused on "Joining Hands Toward Sustainable Peace, Development, and Prosperity," organizing rich and varied activities and doing highly effective work, which China holds in high regard.
