The Silk Road is a path leading to the unity of people around the world.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has taken the initiative to build the economic zone along the Silk Road, which is supported by the neighboring countries. I am convinced that we can turn the ancient Silk Road into a thriving global economic territory, provided that all people develop the historical spirit of mutual preferential treatment, mutual benefit, mutual help and mutual support among the neighboring countries.

I would like to extend welcome to the friends from all countries and regions along the Silk Road. I hope they will gather in Shaanxi to give advice as to the construction of the new Silk Road.
