The brief

Xi Jinping is building diplomatic clout ahead of his summit with U.S. The Chinese president has visited Kyrgyzstan, where he signed a treaty with Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation. The two leaders also discussed the One-China principle and Xi's global initiatives.

Xi's visit to Kyrgyzstan is part of a broader tour that includes attendance at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Bishkek. The visits underscore China's growing influence in Central Asia. The Chinese president's diplomatic efforts are part of a broader strategy to assert China's role on the global stage.

The outcome of Xi's diplomatic efforts remains uncertain. The success of his state visits will depend on the outcomes of his meetings with regional leaders and the Trump summit. Coverage does not yet specify the agenda for the Trump summit, nor the specific goals Xi hopes to achieve through his state visits.
