At the closing meeting, Astana Consensu will be published, and an activity will be announced to find 100 cultural heritage inheritors along the Silk Road.

In addition, a music concert and an exhibition will be held during the forum.

The move echoes President Xi Jinping’s call for development of the Silk Road Economic Belt when he visited Astana last year.

The forum will be a platform for different countries along this ancient Eurasian trade route to exchange ideas to boost cooperation and coordination in culture and explore a long-term multilateral mechanism on the field.
