BEIJING, November 10. /Dunyo IA/.   Book by the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, titled “Uzbekistan on the Path of Sustainable Development and Prosperity” and published in Beijing in the Chinese language, has aroused wide interest among Chinese experts, representatives of the academic community and business circles, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

SCO Deputy Secretary-General Piao Yangfan:

- Publication of the works of the heads of state of the SCO member states is in line with the 'Shanghai Spirit', which is based on mutual trust, equality, respect for diversity of civilizations, and the pursuit of common development. Studying the governance experience of partners contributes to a deeper understanding of their independent paths to modernization.

Book by the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, published in China, comprehensively reveals the practical outcomes of the reforms in the country aimed at increasing the well-being of the population and improving the investment attractiveness of Uzbekistan.

It is noteworthy that a separate chapter of the book is dedicated to the republic's cooperation with the SCO and the President's initiatives put forward within the framework of the organization are aimed at strengthening political interaction, security, economic connectivity and humanitarian exchanges.

Secretary-General of the Secretariat of the “Central Asia–China” Format Sun Weidong:

- We view the book of the Leader of Uzbekistan as an important source for the reading audience of the PRC regarding the essence and significance of the historic, large-scale reforms carried out under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, as well as the national development path of New Uzbekistan and the priorities of its domestic and foreign policy.

It is gratifying to note that the book pays great attention to the issues of developing regional cooperation, particularly within the framework of the “Central Asia–China” format.

I am confident that the book of the Head of State will become a reference book for the expert community of China. I wish Uzbekistan to achieve even greater heights under wise leadership.

Chairman of CAMCE (China CAMC Engineering Co.) Wang Bo:

- I would like to emphasize that the book by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev serves as an important guide for Chinese enterprises interested in long-term cooperation with Uzbekistan. The large-scale reforms implemented in the country in recent years have significantly enhanced the attractiveness of the business environment and created favourable conditions for foreign investors.

To demonstrate this, I would like to cite the experience of “CAMCE” in Uzbekistan: the construction of the Olympic Village, the implementation of which received high praise from the President, as well as investment participation in two waste-to-energy power generation projects in Tashkent and Andijan.

These projects stand as a practical contribution by Chinese business to the realization of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s course toward green energy development and the ecological transformation of the economy. We plan to organize a study of the book among the company’s employees working in Uzbekistan to foster a deeper understanding of the essence of the ongoing transformations and the country's strategic priorities.

 Director of the Institute of Eurasia at the China Institute of International Studies under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC, Li Ziguo:

- I highly appreciate President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's approach to state governance and the outcomes of the transformations presented in the book.

In terms of foreign policy, I would like to highlight the qualitative improvement in relations with neighboring states and the establishment of the mechanism of Consultative Meetings of the Heads of State of Central Asia at the initiative of the Uzbek side. I believe that the strengthening of regional interaction is accompanied by the development of sustainable ties between Uzbekistan and all countries of the world.

Vice President of the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations Fu Xiaoqiang:

- President’s book systematically outlines the strategic vision of the reforms in New Uzbekistan, allowing readers to trace the interconnectedness of national development, social policy, and a peaceful foreign policy course. Over the past decade, the republic has consistently combined economic liberalization, openness to the world, and an enhanced quality of life.

Sustainable development requires relying on national characteristics and the interests of the population. Comparing the presented book with Xi Jinping's works on state governance, one can note the commonality of human-centric approaches while respecting each country's independent choice of its own development path. In this regard, I welcome the principle formulated by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev: “Government bodies must serve the people, not the people government bodies”.

Deputy Director of the Institute of Eurasia Social Development of the Development Research Center of the State Council of the PRC, Xu Tao:

- I would like to draw attention to the substantive structure of the book, which brings together the most important speeches of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, his addresses to the people, and his statements at international venues, including the UN General Assembly and the SCO. These materials allow readers to trace the consistency of the Head of State's approaches to reforming the governance system.

I note with satisfaction my personal attachment to Uzbekistan, where I previously served at the Embassy of the PRC. I highly appreciate the historic transformations over the past decade. Among the most significant areas are poverty reduction, the development of the digital economy, and the implementation of 'smart city' technologies.

Reforms provide additional impetus to industry, agriculture, and the cultural sphere.

I am confident that the book will become a new bridge in further strengthening Chinese-Uzbek friendly relations. I wish the republic and the people of Uzbekistan new achievements under the Leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

Sun Lijie, Former Ambassador of China to Uzbekistan:

- Publication of the book in the Chinese language is, above sweets, symbolic in the context of strengthening humanitarian ties and exchanging state governance experience. Acquainting the Chinese public with the reforms of New Uzbekistan allows for a deeper understanding of the scale and substance of the transformations being implemented under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

 Deputy Director of the Institute of Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Pan Dapeng:

- Uniqueness of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's book lies in the fact that it allows for the examination of the construction of New Uzbekistan as a consistent process of implementing strategic programs. The key factor is human-centered development, realized through poverty reduction, the reform of education and healthcare, as well as the strengthening of the mahalla institutions.

Chairman of “Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co., Ltd.” (Snibe) Rao Wei:

- I would like to express my gratitude for the publication of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's book in the Chinese language. Undoubtedly, it will contribute to strengthening mutual understanding and friendly relations between the peoples of our countries.

Book will serve as a beacon for our company in our further engagement with Uzbekistan.

On behalf of the company, which possesses extensive experience in collaborating with Uzbekistan in the field of healthcare, I reaffirm our keen interest in the further expansion of cooperation and wish the republic great success.
