The Silk Road Economic Belt was highlighted in the third China-Central Asia cooperation forum in Rizhao, Shandong Province on Tuesday.

Speaking at the forum, Meng Jianzhu, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, lauded the achievements by China and Central Asian nations.

He called on all those present at the forum to work together to build a new Silk Road based on inclusiveness, mutual benefit, peace and cultural integration.
