Saï Yao, Vice Chairman of the China Culture Promotion Society, delivered a keynote speech in Kazakhstan
Hello everyone! I am Saïd Yao, Vice Chairman of the China Culture Promotion Society and Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the "Silk Road Canal" Green Finance International Cooperation Forum. From July 3rd to 4th, the 2024 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Council of Heads of State will be grandly held in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. After 23 years of joint efforts, the SCO has become a regional security barrier, a bridge of cooperation, a bond of friendship, and a constructive force. I believe that this year's summit will certainly promote the Shanghai Spirit and drive regional stability and development. Here, on behalf of the organizing committee and all participants, I salute the 2024 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Council of Heads of State and wish it great success!
In September 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping first proposed the Belt and Road Initiative in Kazakhstan, giving new vitality to the ancient Silk Road. In 2022, the heads of China and Kazakhstan jointly initiated the new "Golden Thirty Years" of bilateral relations. President Xi Jinping once said, "We have traveled thousands of miles and will continue to forge ahead." As the host of the China-Kazakhstan Green Finance International Cooperation Forum of the China International Fair for Trade in Services, we are committed to inheriting the millennium-long friendship between China and Kazakhstan, allowing the ship of bilateral development to sail far on the "Silk Road Canal."
