Following is the full text of the article: Jointly Opening up New Prospects for the High-Quality Development of China-Kyrgyzstan Relations Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China Early autumn brings clear skies and crisp air.

In this season of harvest, I will pay a state visit to Kyrgyzstan and attend the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) at the invitation of President Sadyr Zhaparov.

It will be my third visit to this beautiful land.

I look forward to working with President Zhaparov to map out a new blueprint for China-Kyrgyzstan relations and make new progress in building an SCO community with a shared future.

This year marks the 35th anniversary of Kyrgyzstan's independence.

On behalf of the Chinese government and people, I extend sincere congratulations and best wishes to the friendly people of Kyrgyzstan.

We are truly delighted to see our friendly neighbor enjoy sustained political stability, economic growth, and social harmony.

China and Kyrgyzstan are good neighbors sharing weal and woe, good partners with a shared future, and good friends who help each other succeed.

Our two countries share a long history of exchanges.

The ancient Silk Road is a testimony to the long-standing friendship between the two peoples.

In both countries, the stories of historical figures such as Zhang Qian, Xuanzang and Li Bai—who had contributed to civilizational exchanges between China and Kyrgyzstan—are still widely told.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, our two countries have always upheld mutual respect, good-neighborliness, mutual learning, and mutual benefit, and steadily deepened mutual trust and cooperation.

Having stood the test of changing international circumstances, our bilateral ties have made historic leaps from good-neighborly relations to strategic partnership, and then to comprehensive strategic partnership for the new era, gaining fresh dynamism with each stage of development.
