“It is the first time that the WIC is holding a thematic forum centered on the Digital Silk Road, which combines the development of the digital economy with the Belt and Road Initiative,” said Ren Xianliang, secretary-general of the World Internet Conference.
By advancing the construction of the Digital Silk Road, Ren said China has deepened exchanges and cooperation with BRI economies in fields including digital infrastructure, digital technologies and digital market, promoted the digital transformation of related countries and regions, effectively narrowed the digital divide, and shared digital achievements.
Themed “Connectivity and Shared Prosperity”, the WIC Digital Silk Road Development Forum on Tuesday in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, will focus on three topics — “Digital Connectivity and Cooperation in Building the Silk Road”, “Silk Road E-commerce International Cooperation” and “Digital Villages and Sustainable Development”.
Organizations and enterprises from nearly 50 countries and regions, including the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Intel, SAP, Nokia, Micron, ZTE and Alibaba have confirmed their participation in the forum.
