To all the honorable leaders, teachers, and my dearest students, Good morning!
Today I am very glad to stand here and deliver this speech at the beginning of this grand activity.
First of all, I would like to represent all the students in Xi’an by to give the warmest welcomes and the most sincere greetings to our dear guests from Samarkand and Mari. Welcome to Xi’an, a beautiful city of rich history and modernity.
Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and China, it is because all of us share a profound history, thus, leading us to establish the deepest friendships between each other. Early in the second century B.C, our ancestors crossed the towering Pamir Plateau, which allowed economic exchanges along the Zeravshan River and the Morghab River and eventually created a great commercial and cultural way---the Silk Road. Moreover, in the magnificent city of Tang Chang an, our friends from central Asian countries added more gorgeous colors to the splendid Silk Road. And it is Samarkand city, Mari city and Xi’an that have witnessed the great friendships among these three countries.
Look how times flies and the Silk Road today. Currently, the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative conforms to the generation and the desire of countries to speed up advancement by providing a great platform of deep historical origins and cultural foundations. It can unite the countries on route again in order to achieve better and faster developments.
As the countries’ future growth potential force, spiritual mentors, teachers and students we should undertake the glorious mission of link between the past and the future. Here to hoping that we can promote better understanding and friendship between the three cities by the following days’ activities so as to promote the boom of the Silk Road once again. Meanwhile, regarding this activity as a turning point, I hope we can establish the“ Silk Road economic belt” students exchange cooperation organization to provide a more convenient and broad platform for the international students to communicate. Ultimately, best wishes to all the present leaders, teachers and students May we communicate with each other and learn from each other, so that the spirit and the strength of the Silk Road can be endlessly continued. Thank you!
