The 10th Silk Road International Exposition is to open in Xi'an on May 21

Approved by the Ministry of Commerce, the 10th Silk Road International Exposition will be held in Xi'an from May 21 to 25, 2026. It is hosted by the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government, with Jiangsu and Yunnan as Guest Provinces of Honor.

Spanning 72,000 square meters, the expo's six zones will highlight specialty products from countries along the Belt and Road and showcase trendy Chinese brands to stimulate consumption and trade.

Adopting a hybrid model, the expo will run a simultaneous online exhibition and on-site promotion. This creates a dynamic platform for exhibitors and buyers to connect, display products, and negotiate deals, making the expo more interactive and results-driven.

The upcoming expo will feature an opening ceremony and a series of diverse events. The main activities will focus on international cooperation in key areas, such as the digital economy, e-commerce with Central Asian countries, international finance, and logistics via the China-Europe Railway Express. The expo will also include specialized events on inter-regional collaboration, industry-academia partnerships, cross-border standards, and geographical indication products. Additionally, various provinces and cities will host their own trade and investment promotion events, complemented by a cultural exchange focused on Shaanxi cuisine.
