Silk Road International EXPO is held as a venue for promotion of cooperation in various directions between participant countries of the Belt and Road Initiative.

“Xi’an International Studies University is one of the universities with internationally acknowledged faculties of foreign languages and the membership in G8 universities. G8 is a group of eight universities of foreign languages and international studies in China which possess academic expertise in the sphere of teaching foreign languages and international studies. We are planning our cooperation and student exchange in such spheres as languages and literature, international relations, tourism, mass communications, and others,” said SUSU’s Vice-Rector for International Relations, Olga Yaroshenko.
