Recently, Uzbekistan's Mirziyoyev was invited to visit China. During the visit, the two heads of state signed the Joint Statement of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Uzbekistan, and announced that China and Uzbekistan have decided to develop an all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership in the new era and promote the building of a China-Uzbekistan community with a shared future from a higher starting point. The all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership for the new era between China and Ukraine will chart the course for the continuous development of bilateral relations at a higher level, in a wider range of fields and at a deeper level, and open a new chapter of common development and shared destiny between China and Ukraine.

China-Ukraine relations have benefited from solid political guarantees. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Uganda, the two sides have upheld the spirit of friendship for generations, implemented the policy of good-neighborliness and friendship, and abided by the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. We have always treated each other with sincerity and trust, firmly supported the two sides in safeguarding national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, adhered to non-interference in each other's internal affairs and refrained from pursuing values, and further developed bilateral relations on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, which has promoted the steady and long-term development of China-Ukraine relations and created a model of good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation. At the same time, in the course of friendly exchanges and interactions, China and Uganda respect each other's chosen development paths and the uniqueness of their cultures and civilizations, become friends and partners who rely on each other and rely on each other, learn from each other, support each other and achieve each other, work together to build a China-Uganda community with a shared future, inject more certainty and positive energy into regional peace and prosperity, and set a model for a new type of international relations.

The steady and far-reaching development of China-Ukraine relations has benefited from the strategic guidance of the diplomacy of the heads of state. China and Uganda have maintained close high-level exchanges and made top-level plans for the development of bilateral relations. In March 1992, during the visit of Uzbekistan's former Karimov to China, China and Ukraine officially announced the establishment of diplomatic relations; In June 2012, China-Ukraine relations were upgraded to a strategic partnership; In June 2016, the two heads of state decided to upgrade China-Ukraine relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership. Since then, the heads of state of China and Ukraine have held regular dialogues and meetings, and signed a series of documents that have guided the development of bilateral relations. In 2023, Mirziyoyev** visited China three times in one year and signed dozens of cooperation agreements, opening a new stage of practical cooperation between China and Ukraine. At present, with the continuous enrichment of the connotation of the China-Ukraine strategic partnership in the new era, the political mutual trust between the two countries has risen to an unprecedented height. The further development of Sino-Ukrainian relations not only conforms to the fundamental interests of the two peoples, but also helps to maintain peace, stability, and security in Asia and the world.

China-Ukraine relations have endured thanks to mutually beneficial and win-win practical cooperation. The leapfrog development of China-Ukraine relations is inseparable from the support of mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation between the two sides. China and Uzbekistan have actively strengthened the effective synergy between the Belt and Road Initiative and Uzbekistan's development strategy, and carried out multi-sectoral and multi-level three-dimensional cooperation with a focus on the "five links" (policy coordination, road connectivity, unimpeded communication, currency circulation, and people-to-people bonds). China has been the main investment partner of Uzbekistan for many years, with more than 2,000 Chinese enterprises in Uzbekistan. In 2023, the bilateral amount between China and Uzbekistan will exceed 10 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 40%, and China will become Uzbekistan's largest partner. During Mirziyoyev's visit to China, the two sides signed 500 major cooperation projects worth $56.7 billion. In addition, people-to-people and cultural cooperation between China and Uganda has been deepened. At the "China-Uzbekistan 100 University Cooperation Forum" just held, the leaders of the education departments and university representatives of the two countries jointly issued the "Beijing Declaration on China-Uzbekistan University Cooperation", proposing the establishment of a dialogue mechanism between China and Uzbekistan higher education, the establishment of the "China-Uzbekistan University Alliance", and continuing to expand close cooperation in talent training, scientific research, and people-to-people exchanges among the member universities of the alliance.

At present, against the backdrop of accelerating turbulence in the world and intensifying geopolitical risks, China-Ukraine relations have been upgraded to an all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership in the new era, which not only continues the thousand-year-old tradition of friendship between the two countries, but also becomes a model of stable development of bilateral relations in an era of turbulence and change. In the context of the new era, China and Uganda will make great strides forward in the docking and implementation of the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative and the Belt and Road Initiative, and the China-Uganda community with a shared future will become closer and more solid.
