Abstract

Energy security is a focal issue in today's world. In a stage of rapid economic development, China's needs for energy are increasingly growing and energy security has become one of the most important issues for China’s national security. At present, China takes various forms of international cooperation to solve energy security problems, among which the energy cooperation with Central Asian countries played a very important role. China's energy cooperation with Central Asian countries has a solid material basis and a subjective desire for cooperation as well, which has led to great achievements. In the long term, this kind of cooperation is not only economically beneficial between China and Central Asia, but also agrees with mutual geopolitical considerations in their interests and needs, which is of great significance to China's future energy security.
