Xi'an: Writing a New Chapter During Internationalization

If the history of exchanges and cooperation among different regions and countries in the world is compiled into a book, the Silk Road will surely rank among the most impressive chapters. Xi'an, as the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, is therefore closely connected with the world.

As a famous historical city in the world, Xi'an blends tradition with modernity, integrating antique charm and modern style in the new era. At present, Xi'an continues to enrich the expression of traditional history and culture with science, technology and creativity, and deeply contributes to the high-quality development of the city with "culture +".

In recent years, awarded as the Culture City of East Asia and co-host city for the World Organization of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), Xi'an has grasped opportunities and vigorously offered suggestions for international exchanges and cooperation. Moreover, it has been stepping up efforts to help enterprises in Xi'an "go global" and "sell their products globally".

Over the years, in order to catch up and surpass others in sci-tech innovation, Xi'an has been vigorously supporting local higher education institutions, research institutes and enterprises in sci-tech R&D and innovation and achievement transformation, exploring reform and development paths in various fields, and trying to draw attention from the globe as the "Belt and Road" Comprehensive Pilot Zone.

In recent years, Xi'an has zealously promoted the development of land and air transportation, resulting in remarkable improvement in transportation convenience and a continuous increase in total imports and exports.

At present, Xi'an is forging ahead, striving to become a "star player" around the world in multiple competitive fields of science and technology, business and trade, economy, culture and others.
