XI'AN, China, Sept. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Euro-Asia
Economic Forum 2019, with its focus on Participation in the Belt
and Road Initiative will Facilitate High-level Cooperation and
Robust Development, kicked off on September
10th in Xi'an, China.
Politicians, business people and scholars from more than 50
countries, including Germany,
France, Kazakhstan, and Pakistan, attended the forum.
The forum started with an opening ceremony, followed by a
plenary session and 10 parallel sessions covering a variety of
topics, for example, finance, ecology, cultural tourism,
meteorology, and science and technology. The over-riding aim was to
foster partnerships between countries, international organizations,
large corporations and local governments by capitalizing on the
diverse, multi-level dialogue between the participants.
In Xi'an, where the ancient
Silk Route commenced, attendees from the participating countries
recounted the achievements since the inception of the Belt and Road
Initiative and became versed in the changes in terms of economic
development and improved living standards experienced by the
countries along the route.
"The Belt and Road Initiative brought new opportunities and
cooperation prospects for us," said Zinaida Grechanii, the Chairman
of the Moldovan Parliament. "Scientific and technological
innovation has transformed China
from a world factory into a world laboratory. We hope to further
connect Europe with Asia by leveraging deeper cooperation."
The Euro-Asia Economic Forum was first held in 2005 and has been
staged every two years since. It has grown into one of the most
important platforms for China and
other participating countries to become involved in and benefit
from the Belt and Road Initiative. To date, it has enabled more
than 70 Sino-foreign cooperation projects such as the Energy Club,
the New Century Urban Development Fund, and the construction of the
Transnational Digital Library.
