A Conference or a Reunion? What Foreign Journalists Say About the Silk Road Expo

2025年5月21日，第九届丝绸之路国际博览会暨中国东西部合作与投资贸易洽谈会在西安开幕。

On May 21, 2025, the 9th Silk Road International Expo and the China East-West Cooperation and Investment Trade Fair commenced in Xi'an.

丝博会是推动“一带一路”经贸合作与东西部协同发展的平台，为促进中国与共建“一带一路”国家开展政府间政策沟通、企业间投资洽谈、大宗贸易和项目合作提供了重要交流平台。

The Silk Road Expo serves as a platform to drive economic and trade cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and to foster coordinated development between China’s eastern and western regions. It provides a vital space for intergovernmental policy dialogue, enterprise investment negotiations, bulk trade, and project collaboration between China and the Belt and Road partner countries.

今年丝博会以“丝路融通·开放合作”为主题，展馆涵盖丝路优品、科技创新、低空经济等前沿领域。

This year's Silk Road Expo, themed "Integration Along the Silk Road and Open Cooperation", features exhibition halls showcasing cutting-edge fields such as Silk Road quality products, technological innovation, and low-altitude economy.

开幕当日，多国记者走进丝博会场馆，用文字和镜头记录这场盛会，探寻合作机遇和发展密码。
