Cooperation between China and Central Asian countries is growing significantly in biodiversity, agriculture, and related scientific fields. Professor Gemingguli Muhetai of Tarim University has played a key role in fostering partnerships between Chinese and Central Asian institutions, facilitating joint research, student exchanges, and faculty collaborations. These efforts have led to important projects such as wild plant resource surveys in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, genetic research on equine species, and the development of independent breeding systems for local poultry breeds. Additionally, China and Kazakhstan are working to harmonize agricultural product standards and establish joint laboratories to enhance trade and scientific collaboration.
Central Asian students increasingly choose China for advanced studies in molecular biology, agriculture, and veterinary science, motivated by China’s advanced yet cost-effective technologies and open knowledge-sharing culture. This shift in perception, especially among younger generations, reflects growing admiration for China’s scientific progress. Looking forward, Professor Gemingguli envisions deeper cooperation through joint labs, technical training, and technology exchanges in organic food processing and other sectors, emphasizing mutual benefit and stronger regional ties.
