Fujian Special: Nations asked to 'join hands' in developing Maritime Silk Road

Seminar on 'community of common destiny' attracts scholars from 30 countries

China and countries along the Maritime Silk Road should enhance mutual understanding and cooperation and establish exchange mechanisms for future development, said Jiang Jianguo, director of the State Council Information Office.

"We should join hands together, seek common ground and reserve differences on the building of flourishing economic and trade ties," Jiang said on Wednesday during the opening ceremony of an international seminar on the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road in Quanzhou, a major port in East China's Fujian province.
