The Silk Road International Think Tank was established in Beijing, February 2018. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the Silk Road International Think Tank is a substantive think tank platform dedicated to supporting the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), promoting international think tank exchanges, providing policy recommendations, conducting academic research, and facilitating project cooperation.

The Silk Road International Think Tank conducts specialized research on BRI cooperation, providing theoretical support; promotes the principles of BRI collaboration to enhance mutual understanding and intercultural dialogues; explores the implications of BRI-driven globalization to help shape an international discourse on the Belt and Road; and offers services such as strategic planning, project evaluation, legal consulting, and risk assessment across various BRI-related sectors.

Committed to a sound strategic orientation, the think tank integrates key international development factors, opportunities, and challenges, conducting mechanism- and case-based research to generate high-quality outputs. It prioritizes youth engagement, fostering a high-level dialogue platform for young thought leaders to play a pioneering role in BRI cooperation. Additionally, it leverages cultural and people-to-people exchanges, utilizing diverse activities and conferences to share contemporary Silk Road narratives and cultivate a shared BRI cultural identity.

The Silk Road International Think Tank follows an “Exchange Plus” model, collaborating with domestic and international institutions to conduct joint research and academic discussions. It brings together policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and researchers to address pressing issues related to BRI development, continuously enhancing the effectiveness and depth of practical cooperation. Over time, it aspires to become a hub of knowledge, an information center, and a catalyst for collaboration
