As Song Zhouying, a researcher at the Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, noted in an interview with the Zhongxin News Agency, Xinjiang, as a key region of the Silk Road Economic Belt, plays an indispensable role as a portal, hub, and platform in promoting the joint construction of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative.
Xinjiang is an important hub for interconnection.
It borders eight countries, has 20 ports open to the outside world with the approval of the State Council, and is crossed by a number of international transport routes, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the China-Central Asia-West Asia Economic Corridor, and the New Asia-Europe Continental Bridge.
In recent years, thanks to the continuous improvement of infrastructure systems such as railways, roads, pipelines and communications, Xinjiang has gradually formed a three-dimensional transportation network connecting Central, South, West Asia and even Europe, improving the efficiency of cross-border logistics with countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.
Xinjiang is an important platform for economic and trade cooperation.
Relying on multi-level open platforms such as the China-Eurasia Expo and the National Pilot Free Trade Zone in Xinjiang, Xinjiang is deepening practical cooperation with Central, West, and South Asian regions in areas such as energy resources, modern agriculture, equipment manufacturing, and the digital economy.
Customs facilitation at ports continues to improve, market access is expanding, reforms in the areas of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation are steadily advancing, and a regional international trade hub and platform for industrial cooperation is being formed, focused on Central Asia and influencing the whole of Eurasia.
Xinjiang is an important window for humanitarian exchanges.
Xinjiang, a multicultural region, has a rich historical heritage, vibrant ethnic customs and diverse cultural values.
Through activities such as China-Central Asia people-to-people exchanges, the China Xinjiang International Folk Dance Festival, and cross-border tourism promotion, Xinjiang has expanded cooperation with neighboring countries in the fields of tourism, education, healthcare, and technology, gradually becoming an important platform for deepening "mutual understanding."
