It is seen in many fields: mutual trade agreements, investment and scientific cooperation, ecological and environment solutions to global issues. Russia is actively engaged in the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China. Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan are engaged in it as well. Some of them are also members of the Eurasian Economic Union. The paper aimed to identify China’s and Russia’s current interests in these countries, as Central Asia (CA) is the area where Russia’s and China’s interests coincide. Trade relations between the analyzed countries are considered in it. The paper also addresses investment projects under Belt and Road Initiative, which China has been financing in CA countries.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В последние десятилетия Россия и Китай углубляют свое сотрудничество. Это проявляется во многих областях: в соглашениях о взаимной торговле, инвестиционном и научном сотрудничестве, решении многих глобальных проблем человечества. Россия является активным участником проекта «Один пояс, один путь», инициируемого Китаем. Казахстан, Туркменистан, Узбекистан, Таджикистан и Киргизия также вовлечены в этот проект. Наряду с этим Казахстан и Киргизия являются членами Евразийского экономического союза. Целью статьи является выявление текущих интересов Китая и России в Центральной Азии. Рассматриваются торговые отношения между анализируемыми странами, а также инвестиционные проекты в рамках инициативы «Один пояс, один путь», которые Китай финансирует в странах Центральной Азии.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Belt and Road Initiative</kwd><kwd>Russia</kwd><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>Central Asia</kwd><kwd>investment</kwd><kwd>trade</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>проект «Один пояс</kwd><kwd>один путь»</kwd><kwd>Россия</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd><kwd>Центральная Азия</kwd><kwd>инвестиции</kwd><kwd>торговля</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Aristova, L.
