The International Cooperation Forum of the 9th All Blossom Conference was recently held at Hangzhou International Expo Center. Under the theme "A Blossoming Silk Road," the forum was co-hosted by the China Association for the Promotion of Investment, the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the China National Democratic Construction Association, and the UCLG ASPAC Committee on the Belt and Road Local Cooperation (BRLC). Over 100 distinguished attendees included diplomats from the embassies and consulates of the countries involved in Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), representatives of their local government officials and institutions, as well as representatives of Chinese unicorn companies and investment firms.
At the opening ceremony, Miao Chengchao, Vice President of the BRLC, shared his thoughts. He pointed out that the Grain Rain solar term symbolizes nourishment and growth, mirroring how Zhejiang's innovative enterprises flourish by utilizing global resources, knowledge, and strength through international partnerships. This embodies the essence of the Belt and Road Initiative—promoting cross-border cooperation, cultural exchange, and mutual prosperity. He expressed his hope that the forum would cultivate collaboration and innovation, as fuelled by the Chinese solar term's vitality.
Jordi Vaquer, Secretary General of Metropolis, also delivered a speech.

In the roundtable session, industry specialists discussed new modes and opportunities of international collaboration in the context of transformation of industrial ecosystems and investment opportunities propelled by global synergic technological innovation.
The forum served as a platform for dialogue and collaboration, enhancing international exchanges through discussions. It showcased the sustained progress of the Belt and Road Initiative at the local level while emphasizing Hangzhou's distinct role as a national hub for digital economy and technological innovation.
