BEIJING, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) — The Eurasian Economic Forum 2025, titled "Consolidating New Driving Forces in Eurasia and Jointly Building a New Architecture for Sustainable Development," opened Tuesday in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi Province. The event attracted more than 500 political leaders, entrepreneurs, and academics from 40 countries and regions, including members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.
According to China Central Television, the forum's program includes an opening ceremony and plenary session, as well as 13 sub-forums on topics such as geological cooperation and mining investment in SCO countries, tourism cooperation in the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA) region, and human resource development along the Silk Road Economic Belt. The forum also includes events on trade, economic, and cultural exchanges, the presentation of the report "Eurasian Economic Review under the Joint Construction of the Belt and Road Initiative," and the establishment of a new association of think tanks.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Eurasian Economic Forum. The main goal of the current forum is to support the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, implement the results of the China-Central Asia Summit, and promote local economic development through the SCO. The forum will focus on the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the results of the "SCO Plus" meeting in Astana and the 2nd China-Central Asia Summit.
The Eurasian Economic Forum, established in 2005 by the State Council of the People's Republic of China and held every two years, is a high-level and open international event focused on the Eurasian region, with key participants coming from the SCO countries. Over its 20 years of existence, the forum has attracted over tens of thousands of participants from over 70 countries and regions and witnessed the signing of over 200 cooperation agreements and memoranda, leading to the launch of several hundred-billion-dollar projects in the energy, financial, transport, and humanitarian sectors.
