We are delighted to gather today at Xi’an University, this venerable institution that embodies a history deeply rooted in the Silk Road, as we continue our shared journey of academic and scientific cooperation among our universities. This meeting is not merely an administrative encounter, but rather a new step toward strengthening bridges between East and West, and reaffirming the role of higher education in building a more prosperous and integrated future.
On this joyful occasion, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Xi’an University on the 130th anniversary of its founding. This distinguished academic institution has, throughout its long history, graduated generations of scholars and thinkers, and has remained a beacon of knowledge and innovation along the Silk Road. This historic milestone reflects the university’s leadership and prestige, and adds to our pride in holding this meeting within its esteemed halls.
We also wish to highlight the vital role played by the sub‑alliances within the Silk Road University Alliance, which specialize in diverse scientific fields such as engineering, medicine, the humanities, and technological innovation. These sub‑alliances form a cornerstone in strengthening the bonds among our universities, creating broader opportunities for joint research, academic exchange, and collaborative projects that serve the Alliance’s overarching goals and enhance its global presence. For example, the engineering sub‑alliance works on sustainable infrastructure solutions, the medical sub‑alliance launches joint initiatives on public health and epidemics, the humanities sub‑alliances foster cultural dialogue and mutual understanding among peoples, while the technology and innovation sub‑alliances drive forward projects in artificial intelligence and clean energy.
The Silk Road University Alliance has proven itself to be an effective platform for exchanging expertise and launching joint initiatives in research, innovation, and cultural exchange. Today, as we convene in April 2026, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing this mission and expanding cooperation into new areas that support sustainable development and meet the aspirations of our societies.
We are confident that this meeting will yield practical insights and ambitious plans that will strengthen the Alliance’s global standing and open wider horizons for our students and researchers to serve as ambassadors of knowledge along the modern Silk Road.
Let us work together in the spirit of one team, and transform this Alliance into a model of international cooperation among universities.
