Central Asian countries fully support China's presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and are willing to jointly promote greater development of the organization.

The foreign ministers of the six countries unanimously agreed to hold a themed year for cooperation every two years to help promote the high-quality development of China-Central Asia cooperation.
