About 300 guests from home and abroad shared their views on promoting cultural 
inheritance and development at the Silk Road (Xi'an) International 
Communication Forum on Wednesday in Xi'an, the capital of northwest China's 
Shaanxi Province.

Zhao Yide, Party chief of Shaanxi, said as the starting point of the ancient 
Silk Road and an important base for China's westward opening up, Shaanxi is 
deeply integrated into the Belt and Road cooperation.

"I hope that the Chinese and foreign media will publicize Shaanxi and promote 
its exchanges and cooperation in various fields with the rest of the world," 
Zhao added.

Speaking at the event, Fu Hua, president of Xinhua News Agency, said this year 
marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). As 
participants, witnesses, and storytellers of the BRI, the media shoulder the 
responsibility of sharing the BRI stories with the world.

The two-day event, including dialogues and cultural exchange activities, was 
sponsored by Xinhua News Agency, the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the 
Communist Party of China, and the People's Government of Shaanxi Province.
