CGTN: الصين ودول آسيا الوسطى توقّعان معاهدة تاريخية وتتعهّدان بتعزيز التعاون

نشرت شبكة تلفزيون الصين العالمية CGTN مقالاً حول النسخة الثانية من قمة الصين–آسيا الوسطى التي عُقدت في أستانا، سلّطت فيه الضوء على أهمية توقيع الصين ودول آسيا الوسطى الخمس على “معاهدة حُسن الجوار الدائم والتعاون الودي”، ومؤكدةً التزامهم المشترك بتعزيز الشراكات من خلال “مبادرة الحزام والطريق” لدفع التنمية المتبادلة والتعاون الإقليمي.

بكين, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

 في سابقة تاريخية، استضافت إحدى دول آسيا الوسطى النسخة الثانية من قمة الصين وآسيا الوسطى للمرة الأولى، حيث اجتمع قادة الصين وخمس دول من آسيا الوسطى يوم الثلاثاء في أستانا، عاصمة كازاخستان.

في خطوة تاريخية جديدة، شهدت القمة توقيع الدول الست على “معاهدة حُسن الجوار الدائم والتعاون الودي”.

قال الرئيس الصيني، Xi Jinping، في كلمته الرئيسية إن المعاهدة تهدف إلى ترسيخ مبدأ الصداقة الدائمة بين الدول في إطار قانوني.

قال Xi أثناء خطابه في القمة، التي شارك فيها رؤساء كازاخستان وقيرغيزستان وطاجيكستان وتركمانستان وأوزبكستان، “تُمثّل هذه الخطوة إنجازًا مهمًا للحاضر وأساسًا متينًا للمستقبل”.

دعم وتعزيز روح التعاون بين الصين وآسيا الوسطى

أشاد Xi يوم الثلاثاء بروح الصين ــ آسيا الوسطى، التي تجسد أسس الاحترام المتبادل والثقة المتبادلة والمنفعة المتبادلة والمساعدة المتبادلة من أجل السعي المشترك نحو التحديث من خلال التنمية عالية الجودة.

في عام 2020، اقترحت الصين إنشاء آلية تحت اسم الصين ــ آسيا الوسطى. اقترحت الدول في عام 2022 الارتقاء بالآلية إلى مستوى رؤساء الدول خلال قمة افتراضية أُقيمت بمناسبة الذكرى الثلاثين لإقامة علاقاتها الدبلوماسية.

تم تنفيذ هذا المقترح في القمة الافتتاحية بين الصين وآسيا الوسطى عام 2023 في مدينة شيان شمال غربي الصين، حيث اتفق القادة على عقد هذا الاجتماع رفيع المستوى كل عامين بالتناوب بين الصين ودول آسيا الوسطى.

قال Xi إن التوافق الذي تم التوصل إليه خلال القمة الأولى تم تنفيذه بالكامل بعد مرور عامين، مضيفًا أن مسار التعاون يشهد توسعًا مستمرًا، وأن أواصر الصداقة تزداد ازدهارًا.

أظهر استطلاع حديث أجرته شبكة CGTN أن 90% من المشاركين يرون أن آلية الصين ــ آسيا الوسطى لا تقوم على التنافس أو الصراع، بل تُشكِّل إطارًا يسعى فيه الجانبان إلى تحقيق الاستقرار والتنمية والتعاون البنّاء نحو المستقبل.

حتى الآن، أقامت الصين شراكات استراتيجية شاملة، ووقّعت اتفاقيات تعاون ضمن إطار مبادرة “الحزام والطريق”، وطبّقت رؤية بناء مجتمع ذي مستقبل مشترك على المستوى الثنائي مع جميع دول آسيا الوسطى الخمس.

قال Sun Weidong، الأمين العام لأمانة آلية الصين ــ آسيا الوسطى، إن هذا يعكس بوضوح الثقة الاستراتيجية المتبادلة على أعلى المستويات، والإرادة الراسخة لتعميق التعاون القائم على المنفعة المتبادلة.

التنمية عالية الجودة لمبادرة “الحزام والطريق”

دعا Xi الدول خلال قمة أستانا إلى العمل وفق روح آلية الصين ــ آسيا الوسطى، وتعزيز التعاون بحماس متجدد وبإجراءات أكثر عملية، ودفع التنمية عالية الجودة لمبادرة “الحزام والطريق (BRI)”، والمضي قدمًا نحو هدف بناء مجتمع ذي مستقبل مشترك للمنطقة.

طرح Xi في عام 2013 بالعاصمة الكازاخستانية، رؤيته للمرة الأولى حول التعاون المشترك لبناء مشروع “حزام طريق الحرير الاقتصادي”، وهو أحد الركائز الأساسية لمبادرة “الحزام والطريق (BRI)”.

شهدت الصين والمنطقة، من خلال هذه المبادرة، تعاونًا قويًا في مجالات التجارة والاقتصاد الرقمي والترابط الإقليمي، وقد أصبحت الصين الشريك التجاري الأول للمنطقة وأحد أبرز مصادر الاستثمار فيها. أظهرت إحصاءات الإدارة العامة للجمارك أن حجم التجارة بين الصين وآسيا الوسطى سجّل رقمًا قياسيًا بلغ 94.8 مليار دولار في عام 2024، فيما تخطى إجمالي الاستثمارات الصينية في المنطقة 30 مليار دولار.

وفقًا لاستطلاع أجرته شبكة CGTN، أعرب 92.4% من المشاركين عن موافقتهم بأن مبادرة “الحزام والطريق (BRI)” تُعَد منفعة عامة دولية مهمة تُعزز التعاون رفيع المستوى بين الصين وآسيا الوسطى.

حثّ Xi، يوم الثلاثاء، الصين وآسيا الوسطى على تعزيز إطار التعاون بينهما ليكون أكثر تركيزًا على النتائج وأكثر فعالية وأعمق تكاملاً.

كما شدَّد على أهمية بذل الجهود لتركيز التعاون على تسهيل التجارة، والاستثمار الصناعي، والترابط الإقليمي، والتعدين الأخضر، وتحديث القطاع الزراعي، وتبادل الكفاءات، مع الدفع بمزيد من المشاريع إلى حيز التنفيذ الفعلي.

أعلن Xi أن الصين ستُنشئ ثلاثة مراكز تعاون متخصصة في مجالات الحد من الفقر والتبادل التعليمي ومكافحة التصَحُّر، إلى جانب منصة تعاون لتيسير حركة التجارة، وذلك في إطار تعزيز التعاون بين الجانبين.

أشاد Cui Zheng، مدير مركز أبحاث روسيا وأوروبا الشرقية ودول آسيا الوسطى في جامعة Liaoning، بأهمية نموذج التعاون هذا في ظل الأوضاع الدولية الراهنة، وذلك في مقال رأي نشرته CGTN.

قال Cui إنّ الشراكة بين الصين وآسيا الوسطى، في ظل تصاعد السياسات الحمائية عالميًا، تُشكِّل نموذجًا جديدًا في العمل الدبلوماسي يقوم على احترام سيادة الدول وتعزيز المنفعة المتبادلة وإعلاء صوت بلدان الجنوب العالمي.

Hong Kong Tourism Board Brings a Taste of The City to Art Basel in Basel

HONG KONG, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is excited to announce its upcoming activation at Art Basel in Basel 2025, presenting the Hong Kong Bar from 19 – 22 June 2025. To bring the project to life, HKTB are collaborating with Hong Kong artist Phoebe Hui to debut her new installation, Under the Moonlight, imbuing the bar with a captivating energy. This will be the first time HKTB showcases the city’s unique culture at Art Basel’s flagship show, as part of their pioneering three–year global partnership with the brand – inviting visitors from around the world to experience the vibrant artistic spirit and dynamic energy of Hong Kong.

HKTB Executive Director Dane Cheng said, “We are committed to sharing Hong Kong’s artistic dynamism and vibrant culture at Art Basel through our three–year global partnership with the fair, connecting with audiences from around the world on this prestigious platform. At Art Basel in Basel, we will showcase the inspiring neighbourhood of ‘Old Town Central’ – transporting visitors to the bustling atmosphere of Hong Kong life with the unique flavours offered on our ‘Hong Kong Bar’ menu. We are also honoured to be working with local artist Phoebe Hui, who will captivate audiences with her installation. We hope that you enjoy raising a glass at the ‘Hong Kong Bar’.”

Angelle Siyang–Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong, said: “We are thrilled to bring the vibrant spirit of Hong Kong to the heart of Art Basel in Basel, our mothership of fairs, showcasing not only our city’s rich cultural heritage but also its dynamic and evolving identity. Through the Hong Kong Bar and the collaboration with Phoebe Hui, we invite visitors to experience Hong Kong’s unique blend of tradition and innovation – where every detail, from the Yuen Yeung Martini to the immersive design inspired by Central Market, tells a story of resilience, creativity, and community. This platform marks a significant milestone in our global partnership with Hong Kong Tourism Board, reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a leading cultural hub that bridges East and West.”

A Taste of Hong Kong’s Heritage: Inspired by Old Town Central and Central Market
The Hong Kong Bar will immerse visitors in the lively atmosphere of Hong Kong’s Old Town Central neighbourhood, featuring a signature cocktail inspired by the city’s distinctive flavours. The “Yuen Yeung Martini” blends vodka and coffee with the famous Hong Kong–style milk tea to offer an energising refreshment for fair visitors. Accompanied by a curated menu of other special cocktails and snacks inspired by Hong Kong’s culinary heritage, visitors will embark on a multisensory journey exploring Hong Kong’s layered urban identity, combining authentic local delicacies with immersive design and art, presenting a holistic experience that captures the city’s essence. Aligning with Art Basel’s flagship fair in Basel, HKTB will showcase the heart of Hong Kong’s cultural scene on the world’s stage.

The bar’s design is inspired by the iconic landmark of Central Market, the first permanent indoor market in Hong Kong’s Old Town Central area dating back to the 19th century. The marketplace played a quintessential part of Hong Kong daily life, hosting lively food stalls and retail spaces. Now, the revitalised community space bridges the past with the present, symbolising the city’s layered and ever–evolving urban identity and providing ample inspiration for the Hong Kong Bar. At Art Basel in Basel, HKTB will embody Central Market’s architectural charm and lively atmosphere, transforming the space into a living tribute to the neighbourhood's legacy for visitors to engage with the city’s cultural narrative through a blend of taste, space, and story. 


Artistry and Culture: Capturing the City’s Rhythm
Local artist Phoebe Hui, whose captivating moon–themed pieces and research–driven practice explores how technology shapes our perception of reality, will debut a brand–new installation titled Under the Moonlight, illuminating the bar setting. Hui’s work utilises technology and machine learning to reimagine the moon’s phases, reminiscent of Hong Kong’s energetic, dazzling nights, as well as evoking powerful symbolism in Chinese culture of immortality, femininity, success, and purity. Drawing inspiration from the constantly shifting cycles of the moon, the specially commissioned piece adds an element of poetic and meditative ambiance, echoing the city’s rhythm of constant change and resilience.

Phoebe Hui said, “Hong Kong, famed for neon lights and a city that never sleep — this work offers an introspective pause beneath the moonlight. Moonlight shimmers softly yet sharp, a gauze where neon and quiet hues entwine, neither fully present nor absent. Under the moon’s shifting glow, Hong Kong reveals its contemplative heart, folding the night into layers of color and memory — a whispered dialogue between distant stars and crowded streets.”

A Platform for Global Cultural Exchange
HKTB’s showcase at Art Basel in Basel is a continuation of its ongoing partnership with Art Basel and underscores Hong Kong’s commitment to presenting the city as a leading center for art and culture. Art lovers and cultural enthusiasts from around the world are invited to rediscover Hong Kong as a city that thrives at the intersection of heritage and modernity.

CAR FINAL DEADLINE: ROSEN, SKILLED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Avis Budget Group, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important June 24 Deadline in Securities Class Action – CAR

NEW YORK, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAR) between February 13, 2024 and February 10, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important June 24, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Avis Budget securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Avis Budget class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit–form/?case_id=38765 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll–free at 866–767–3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 24, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Avis Budget crafted and implemented a plan to significantly accelerate its fleet rotation in the fourth quarter of 2024; (2) the foregoing acceleration shortened the useful life of the majority of Avis Budget’s vehicles in the Americas segment, thereby reducing their recoverable value; (3) as a result, Avis Budget would be forced to recognize billions of dollars in impairment charges and incur substantial losses; (4) all the foregoing was likely to, and did, have a significant negative impact on Avis Budget’s financial results; (5) accordingly, Avis Budget’s financial and/or business prospects were overstated; and (6) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Avis Budget class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit–form/?case_id=38765 call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll–free at 866–767–3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
