Silk Road Urban Alliance

Silk Road Urban Alliance (hereinafter referred to as the Urban Alliance), jointly initiated by Silk Road Chamber of International Commerce and China Association for Friendship, is a thematic working mechanism dedicated to cooperation and development among cities of the Belt and Road countries and regions.


Cities, as the symbol of modern civilization, are the center of economy, politics, science and technology, culture and education. Throughout history, a country's industrialization and modernization are also manifested by its process of urbanization. Cities play a vital role in national economy and social development. Looking into the future, cities will be of more significance in promoting human material and spiritual civilizations in the context of economic globalization and technological advance. The role of cities will be more prominent in leading industrialization, informationization and modernization. Silk Road Urban Alliance aims to strengthen cultural exchanges and trade cooperation among its members under the Belt and Road Initiative. By providing a pragmatic platform, the Urban Alliance enables its members to share their experience in city governance, so as to better seize the opportunities and address the challenges in city development. The Urban Alliance adopts rotating chairmanship and SRCIC Secretariat assumes the duty of daily liaison.
