FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Beijing, China (October 15, 2020) - In 2013, the concept for the Silk Road Economic Belt was unveiled for the first time by China. This idea was put forward as a way to encourage investment growth and ensure better and easier connectivity among various countries across the world. 
The website Xinhua Silk Road Information Service will connect the transport infrastructure across Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, European nations, East Africa and Middle East. It presents useful and absolutely authentic data about this economic corridor - Maritime Silk Road, which has long been in the stage of planning and making. 

The Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative has been a subject of great debates and discussions, and many people are also skeptical about the intent behind this corridor. Financed by the China Economic Information Service (CEIS) of the Xinhua News Agency, this website aims to dispel all possible misconceptions and wrong notions about the road. It strives to present the corridor as a way to promote economic growth and friendship.
