With the theme of "Silk Road Maritime: Route to high-quality development", the

forum focused on the vision of "Sharing prosperity through cooperation and

connectivity", incorporating multiple activities such as keynote speech,

membership awarding and blue book release.

Based on the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road positioning and advantages, Fujian

Province launched the Silk Road Maritime international logistics service in

December 2018, aiming to create a new shipping logistics service platform under

the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

The first Silk Road Maritime International Cooperation Forum was successfully

held on September 7, 2019 in Xiamen, which laid a solid foundation for the Silk

Road Maritime platform's future development in Fujian.

After a year-long development, Fujian has seen several significant achievements

of the Silk Road Maritime in terms of government policies, transportation

infrastructure and international maritime cooperation, which have promoted

Fujian's foreign exchange port affairs, logistics, as well as economy and trade.

It is noted that the first batch of six Silk Road Maritime express routes

covering Southeast Asia and Europe had been officially launched at the forum.

Meanwhile, another eight enterprises engaged in shipping industry from home and

abroad were licensed to join the Silk Road Maritime Alliance, making the total

members to 183. Currently, they are operating more than 60 shipping routes

which cover major ports in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia,

Africa, and Europe, presenting growth potential and development prospects of

China and the world economy, according to Zhao Long, vice governor of Fujian

Province.

The relevant port service specification under the Silk Road Maritime service

standard system and the Silk Road Maritime blue book 2020 was also unveiled at

the forum.
