He called on both sides to enhance synergy in development strategies and policy coordination, seek more converging interests and growth points, jointly plan key areas and major projects, expand trade and investment, and speed up construction of major projects.
Both countries should expand cultural and people-to-people exchanges and local cooperation to boost neighborly friendship, said Xi, who also stressed the importance of improving security cooperation to fight the "three evil forces" of terrorism, extremism and separatism and organized crime across the border.
Xi spoke highly of Kyrgyzstan's support for China since it has taken the rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) last June, saying that China stands ready to work with Kyrgyzstan to promote the SCO so it can develop along a healthy and stable track.

The establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership unveils a new chapter in the bilateral relationship, he said.
Jeenbekov said it has always been Kyrgyzstan's priority to develop ties with China and Kyrgyzstan has been and will continue to be a most reliable neighbor, partner, and friend of China.
Kyrgyzstan will firmly adhere to the one-China policy, stand ready to advance pragmatic cooperation with China in the areas of economy and trade, cultural and people-to-people exchanges, and jointly combat "three evil forces," as well as work together in safeguarding regional peace, stability and security, said Jeenbekov.
Kyrgyzstan backs the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative and believes the initiative will greatly promote common development in the region, said the Kyrgyz president, adding that Kyrgyzstan will maintain the continuity of all cooperative agreements with China.
Jeenbekov said his country is confident that the SCO Qingdao Summit will be a success under the leadership of China.
After the talks, the two presidents signed a joint statement regarding establishing a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Kyrgyzstan and witnessed the signing of a series of cooperative agreements.
In the statement, both sides reiterated that they would not join any union or group that harms the other country's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity and would not sign such treaties with a third country.
Both sides agreed not to allow a third country, organizations, groups or personnel to conduct activities jeopardizing the other country's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.
In line with the principle of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation, both sides agreed to carry out the cooperation documents and programs that have been signed or agreed upon, and to promote bilateral, multilateral trade and economic cooperation projects, including highways and railways, energy, fiber-optic communication lines and mining industry to inject new contents into a sustainable cooperation between the two countries, the statement said.
Both sides agreed that pragmatic cooperation is the material basis of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries. They reiterated their opposition to all forms of protectionism and agreed to facilitate trade and mutual investment.
