Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev reached Xian on Wednesday afternoon – the first Central Asian leader to arrive for the China-Central Asia Summit.

Xian, the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, will serve as the venue for the inaugural China-Central Asia Summit. CGTN's Dong Xue shares her analysis.
