丝博会

2016年5月3日，2016丝绸之路博览会暨第20届中国东西部合作与投资贸易洽谈会在西安开幕。经党中央、国务院批准，连续举办了19届的西洽会从本届开始正式更名为丝绸之路国际博览会暨中西部投资贸易与合作洽谈会（简称丝博会），丝博会已从一个国内展会上升为具有国际影响力的综合性展会。正式更名“丝博会”，不仅让展会从“面上”发生了改变，也从本质上更加突出实效，为“一带一路”沿线国家搭建国际合作新平台，通过各类展览展示推动在交通、贸易、金融、人文、能源等领域开展全方位交流合作。2017年丝绸之路国际博览会暨第21届中国东西部合作与投资贸易洽谈会将于今年6月3日至6月7日在古城西安举办。

It is an international platform for countries along the “Belt and Road” to communicate and cooperate in transportation, trade, finance, culture, energy, etc. The 2017 Silk Road International Exposition & the 21st Investment and Trade Forum for Cooperation between East and West China will be held in Xi’an from June 3 to 7.
