　　5月21日，国务委员兼外交部长王毅在比什凯克同吉尔吉斯斯坦外长艾达尔别科夫举行会谈后共见记者时表示，两国外长充分肯定中吉关系取得的长足发展，认为下一步中吉全面战略伙伴关系应突出以下四个关键词。

　　First, maintain stability. No matter how the international, regional and respective domestic situation may change, China-Kyrgyzstan friendly relations should not be disturbed, nor should it be hindered by difficulties. The sound and stable development of bilateral relations should be guaranteed.

　　一是保持稳定。无论国际地区和各自国内形势如何变化，中吉友好关系都不应受到干扰，不应为困难所阻，确保得到健康稳定发展。

　　Second, uphold equality. Both sides should always uphold mutual respect and equal treatment, despite differences in size, development stage, and social system.

　　二是坚持平等。两国虽然大小不同、发展阶段不同、社会制度不同，但双方应该始终相互尊重，平等相待。

　　Third, deepen cooperation. Both sides will jointly well implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, accelerate the alignment between the Belt and Road Initiative and the National Development Strategy of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2018-2040, and constantly deepen mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields, so as to boost respective development of the two countries and their common prosperity.

　　三是深化合作。双方将共同落实好两国元首重要共识，加快“一带一路”倡议同《吉尔吉斯共和国2018－2040年国家发展战略》对接，不断深化各领域互利合作，助力两国各自发展和共同繁荣。

　　Fourth, guarantee security. Security is a need of people as well as a premise for development. The two countries have signed the cooperation document on combating the "three forces" of terrorism, separatism and extremism, and will further deepen coordination and cooperation in such fields as counter-terrorism, fighting against transnational organized crime, drug control, cyber security, international fugitive repatriation and security of large-scale activities.

　　四是确保安全。安全是人民的需求，也是发展的前提。两国已经签署了打击“三股势力”合作的文件，双方将进一步深化在反恐、打击跨境有组织犯罪、禁毒、网络安全、境外追逃、大型活动安保等方面的协调配合。

　　Wang Yi expressed that China and Kyrgyzstan enjoy a long-standing tradition of exchanges, and the two peoples share a natural affinity. The Chinese side will forever be the most trustworthy, closest and most enduring friend of the Kyrgyz side. Both sides are full of confidence in the development prospect of China-Kyrgyzstan relations. The Chinese side is willing to pursue common development and common prosperity with the Kyrgyz side.
