NANJING, May 23 (Xinhua) -- The Silk Road School of Renmin University of China was inaugurated on Wednesday in Suzhou, east China’s Jiangsu Province.
About 100 foreign students from the countries and regions along the Belt and Road (B&R) will begin their two-year study from September to pursue master's degree.
