The Maritime Silk Road Forum App is the official utility application of the Maritime Silk Road Port Cooperation Forum. It focuses on releasing forum news, publicizing agenda information, processing guest registration and delivering conference management services, providing accurate and efficient official conference support for participating guests, industry practitioners and followers. Since the establishment of the Maritime Silk Road Forum in 2015, adhering to the tenet of "Equality, Cooperation, Mutual Benefit and Win-Win Results" and the principle of "Extensive Consultation, Joint Contribution and Shared Benefits", the forum has gradually grown into an important practical platform for advancing the Belt and Road Initiative and a core vehicle for exchanges and cooperation in global port, shipping and related sectors. Against this backdrop, the Maritime Silk Road Forum App has been launched. It fully embodies the forum’s core philosophy of "Openness and Inclusiveness, Resilient Collaboration and Shared Value", extending the international and professional strengths of the offline forum into the digital realm, breaking the constraints of time and geography, and offering participating guests full-process digital conference tools.
