Huang Kunming, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, attended the forum by video and delivered a speech. Since the initiative was put forward, the "hard connectivity" of infrastructure has been accelerated, the "soft connectivity" of rules and standards has achieved remarkable results, the "heart connectivity" of the country and the people has been warm, and the "the Belt and Road" has been continuously deepened and implemented. It has become a popular international public product and international cooperation platform. Huang Kunming stressed that the media plays an irreplaceable role in disseminating information, enhancing mutual trust, and building consensus. The joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" can not be separated from the active participation and initiative of the media of various countries, nor can it be separated from sincere communication and practical cooperation between them. Facing the future, we hope that the media friends will inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Silk Road, actively spread the concept of civilization of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness, vividly tell the story of building the road of peace, prosperity, openness, green, innovation and civilization, make a good voice for working together, gather positive energy for win-win cooperation, and contribute media power to the high-quality construction of the "the Belt and Road".

More than 120 Chinese and foreign media representatives from more than 40 countries and international organizations participated in the event online and offline. (news agency)
