China Net News crosses Qian Shan, and then continues the Silk Road love affair. Seven districts and counties with different customs and people’s feelings have become attached to each other because they are important node cities of the Millennium Silk Road, and work together to build the "Silk Road" in the new era.
Recently, in Licheng District, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, Licheng District signed the development cooperation agreement of "Silk Road Friendship City" with xiangqiao district in Guangdong, Luoyang Old Town in Henan Province, beilin district in Xi ‘an City, Gansu Province, Ganzhou District in Zhangye City, Dunhuang City in Jiuquan City, Gansu Province and Jimsar County in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
According to the agreement, these seven ancient cities "Haisi" and "Lusi" will adhere to the principle of co-construction, sharing and common prosperity, constantly expand the fields of cooperation and exchange, promote mutual learning of civilizations, mutual sharing of resources, mutual exchange of information, mutual exchange of tourists, mutual promotion of products and mutual complementarity of industries, realize the fusion of urban alliances, and inject new kinetic energy into the initiative of jointly building "the belt and road initiative".
The signing of the agreement will push the cooperation, development and exchange activities of "Silk Road Friendship City" to a climax in 2023, marking the start of the "Silk Road Friendship City Alliance" and a new journey.
Ten years ago, the "the belt and road initiative" initiative was put forward, which made the ancient Silk Road glow with new vitality. As the starting point of "Haisi" and the core area of Quanzhou, a world heritage city, Licheng strives to inherit and carry forward the spirit of Silk Road, deeply integrates into the overall pattern of building "the belt and road initiative" and actively promotes the exchange activities of "Silk Road Friendship City".
Last year, Licheng started a trip to find "Silk Road Partners". In March this year, Beilin, Xiangqiao, Old Town and Ganzhou were invited to participate in the first "Haisi" Quanzhou Digital Cultural and Creative Expo, and "Silk Road Friendship City" signed a contract to jointly build it. Subsequently, Dunhuang City and Jimsar County actively responded and participated.
"It is the’ the belt and road initiative’ that connects our hearts and hands, and it is the Silk Road culture that makes us resonate at the same frequency." Huang Huican, secretary of the Licheng District Party Committee, said that this event, we invited important node cities along the Silk Road to gather in Licheng to continue the frontier and seek common development, which is of great significance to the development of the Silk Road Friendship City Alliance. I hope that the Silk Road Friendship City Alliance can be turned into an all-round high-quality communication platform, further optimizing the mechanism, advancing in coordination and building a win-win situation.
Wang Kesi, the head of Licheng District Government, said that at present, the exchange activities of Silk Road Friendship City have taken solid steps, and I hope to join hands with Silk Road Friendship City, adhere to the principle of co-construction and sharing, and jointly expand the "circle of friends" of regional cooperation, jointly create a "big channel" for collaborative development, and jointly build a "heart-to-heart bridge" for humanities exchanges.
According to reports, this year, under the promotion of "Silk Road Friendship City", enterprises from all over the world went out, invited in, cooperated first, and achieved fruitful results.
