The Republic of Uzbekistan, one of the five Central Asian countries, is a significant partner for China's economic development along the Silk Road and a crucial nation along the Belt and Road Initiative. On July 3, President Xi Jinping met with President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan prior to attending the SCO Summit in Astana.
