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

Silk Road Maritime was established by China's Fujian Province in December 2018

and has 62 named shipping routes covering major ports in East Asia, Southeast

Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Africa and Europe.

As of the end of August 2020, the Silk Road Maritime has operated more than

industry, investment, economy and trade, promote the transformation of maritime

advantages into potential international cooperation to achieve common

development, mutual benefits and win-win results, said Zhao Long, vice governor

of Fujian Province at the Silk Road Maritime International Cooperation Forum
