Archaeologists witness the cooperation between China and Uzbekistan

The China China Asia Summit is about to be held in Xi'an, China. I believe that in the future, China's cooperation with Central Asian countries in various fields will definitely achieve more results. As an archaeologist, I particularly look forward to the convening of this summit to help China and Central Asian countries deepen cultural exchanges and cooperation.

Uzbekistan is one of the countries with a long history on the Silk Road. The Silk Road is not only a trade route, but also a route that connects people and cultures of various countries. The "the Belt and Road" initiative has become a way to strengthen ties between the East, Central Asia and the West.

Central Asia is a hub connecting China and Europe. The trade prosperity and regional peace of the Silk Road Economic Belt provide excellent opportunities for cultural exchange between Eastern and Western countries.

Since 2014, I have been working for the Uzbekistan China Joint Archaeological Team. The archaeological research conducted by the Uzbek China Joint Archaeological Team in Uzbekistan has made significant breakthroughs in the study of the ancient Moon clan and the remains of the Kusana culture, revealing a large amount of information about the history of Uzbekistan. This study was conducted under the leadership of Wang Jianxin, Chief Scientist of the Silk Road Archaeological Cooperation Research Center and Professor of the School of Cultural Heritage at Northwestern University, in Rabat Village, Baisong, southern Uzbekistan.

I hope that China and Central Asian countries can further cooperate in archaeological research and museums. China has achieved great success in the museumization of historical and archaeological sites, and Central Asian countries can learn from these experiences and methods. As far as I know, experts from China and Uzbekistan have collaborated to restore the famous ancient city of Shiva, and China's archaeological restoration methods are widely popular in Uzbekistan. I am also collecting and organizing advanced experience and achievements in Chinese archaeology, translating them into Uzbek, and teaching them to my students. In the future, I plan to conduct scientific research in Dawan and solve archaeological problems in Dawan. I believe that cooperation with Chinese archaeologists will yield good results.
