Xinhua, July 16, 2015 Adjust font size:

China's Xinhua News Agency launched a new line of information products in a bid to help global investors form better partnerships along the Belt and Road Initiative on Thursday.

The new "Xinhua Silk Road" products, designed and managed by Xinhua News Agency, aim to provide a platform for commodity trade and investment cooperation for governments and companies of countries along the Belt and Road, according to Cai Mingzhao, President of Xinhua News Agency.

The package is Internet-based and currently available in Chinese and English. It includes four major products and services - the Silk Road Database, Xinhua Credit Reports, Consulting & Thinktank Services and the interactive business match-making Xinhua Silk Road IM System.

The database includes information on laws and regulations, latest policies, macroeconomic development, project information and investment risk assessment in countries along the Belt and Road.

The credit information service offers credit and risk assessment reports on countries, companies and investment projects as references for investment decisions of companies.

The consulting and think tank service provides clients with personalized decision-making consultations by relying on Xinhua's wide-reaching global information networks and professional economic analysts.

Another innovative feature is a deal-making platform designed to facilitate online business negotiations and promote business connections for investment projects.

The Belt and Road Initiative is a trade and infrastructure network including the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road proposed by China in 2013. The network connects Asia, Europe and Africa and passes through more than 60 countries and regions with a population of 4.4 billion. Endi
