China’s Xi meets Central Asian leaders, calls for trade, energy development

Associated Press  

BEIJING — Chinese leader Xi Jinping promised to build more railway and other trade links with Central Asia and proposed jointly developing oil and gas sources at a meeting Friday with the region’s leaders that highlighted Beijing’s growing influence. The two-day China-Central Asia Summit in the western city of Xi’an came as President Joe Biden and other leaders of the Group of Seven major economies met in Japan. The Chinese leader promised to increase cross-border trade by developing highways and rail lines and encouraging China’s trading companies to set up warehouses in Central Asia. He said Beijing wants to speed up construction of an additional pipeline to supply Central Asian gas to China’s energy-hungry economy and to promote nuclear power.
