BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The 2021 Silk Road Maritime International Cooperation Forum kicked off

Wednesday in Xiamen of southeast China's Fujian Province, offering

opportunities for industry insiders to exchange ideas on boosting maritime

cooperation.

Silk Road Maritime is an international integrated logistics services brand

serving the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and a new platform for

international trade and shipping services with standard services, convenient

operation and intelligent management, according to Zhang Baochen, executive

vice president of the Ninth Council of the China Institute of Navigation.

Forging Silk Road Maritime is an important measure for Fujian to implement BRI,

build the core area of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, and promote

opening-up and international cooperation, noted Yin Li, Party chief of Fujian.

Fujian expects more enterprises and institutions to join the Silk Road Maritime

Alliance to build Silk Road Maritime into a world-renowned shipping logistics

brand, and enhance exchanges and cooperation in fields like industries,

investment, economy and trade for common development and prosperity, added Yin.

Shipping is still dominant in international trade transportation, and as the

core area of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, Fujian is embracing great

opportunities in expanding the brand influence of Silk Road Maritime and

innovating multi-modal transport, pointed out Ning Jizhe, deputy head of the

National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planner.

A series of important results were released at the forum, including a blue

paper on the development of Silk Road Maritime in 2021 and the eighth batch of

shipping routes named after Silk Road Maritime.

Bai Fengchuan, secretary general of the China Customs Brokers Association,

released the customs clearance services standards of Silk Road Maritime, noting

that such standards can provide objective, quantifiable and comprehensive

evaluations for domestic and international maritime ports, and serve as a

practical and effective tool for mutual learning among ports for better

development.

The Silk Road Maritime information platform was also launched at the forum,

aiming at integrating the existing customs, ports and trade information

platform resources in Fujian to expand smart logistics cooperation at home and

abroad and promote in-depth integration of logistics and information.
