Q: The Kyrgyz opposition party held demonstrations recently to call for constitutional reform. What's China's comment on this?

A: We noticed the relevant report on the mass assembly in Kyrgyz capital. Kyrgyzstan is China's friendly neighbor, and a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

We believe that the Kyrgyz people have the ability and wisdom to resolve the present problem.
