Cooperation
Since the middle of last century, the globalization process of trade and investment has been accelerated, which promoted world economic development. China is both a beneficiary and a contributor.

The forum will also promote and implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress and the Belt and Road Initiative, enhance international communication, influence and motivation of Chinese wisdom and solution, encourage Chinese companies going global and integrate in the world’s development.
Suggestions will be provided on the Forum
Firstly, the dialogues between Chinese and foreign media need to be strengthened. Chinese and foreign media are supposed to work closely to spread the excellent cultures and build a good international media environment. Such cooperation will also serve as an important way to enhance the understanding and friendship between different countries. In the new era, international mainstream media are playing an indispensable role in spreading information, boosting trusts and building consensus.
Secondly, the trade framework under the initiative of “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” need to be reshaped with jointed efforts. Trade connectivity is a major part of the Belt and Road Initiative. Guangdong is one of the starting points of the Maritime Silk Road and the frontier of China’s reform and opening up, with its international trade leading the whole country.
Therefore, in order to achieve an opening up at a higher level, a bigger economic and trade scenario and a sharper international competitive edge, the Forum will invite personages from political, business, financial, academic and media communities to share their insights on the opportunities, difficulties and solutions as well as the new frontiers, changes and trend in international trade in building the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” from the perspective of trade rules, e-commerce, warehousing and logistics, trade financing and brand building.
Located in Southern China, Guangdong, as the pioneer of the country’s reform and opening up, has been urging its companies to going global. In the past 10 years, Guangdong leaded all the other provinces, cities and regions in terms of total outbound investment. On the Forum, the “Action Report 2017 for Guangdong Companies Going Global under the Belt and Road Initiative” will be released and a high-tech and interactive outcome exhibition for the going global of Guangdong companies will be showed.
Thirdly, research on life science and Health Silk Road need to be strengthened and built. In the speech at the Legislative Chamber of the Uzbek Supreme Assembly in June 2016, Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out that we need to deepen cooperation in medical care and health, strengthen win-win cooperation in the alert of communicable diseases, disease prevention and control, medical assistance and traditional medicine, and build Health Silk Road.
China has made huge contribution to global life science with brilliant achievements over the past decades. The Forum will invite academic and business communities at home and abroad to share their visions on ways of promoting Health Silk Road construction from the perspectives of the innovation and application of life science and technologies.
