Abstract

The ancient Silk Road in history exerted huge impact on the social development of various areas on the Eurasian continent. It was the most important trade route in ancient society, symbolizing the cultural exchanges between East and West, and bridging the

understanding and friendly exchanges among various countries, peoples, and regions on the route. In recent years, China has conducted outstanding cooperation with

nations on the Silk Road in terms of trade investment, channel construction, politics and diplomacy, social security, cultural exchanges, education and so on, laying the foundation for further cooperation and building a win-win relationship within the frame of the Silk Road Economic Belt. Xinjiang lies on the convergence of the northern, central and southern channels of the Silk Road Economic Belt, and it is also an important juncture and hub of the east and west economic circle. Thus it boasts prominent advantages in its location, resources and culture. Xinjiang is intended to become an important center in terms of traffic, trade and logistics, finance, culture, science and technology, and medical treatment. It also sets to be built into an oil and gas production, processing and reserve base, a coal, coal power and coal chemical base, a wind power base, and the core region of the Silk Road Economic Belt so as to help countries along the belt to cooperate and build a win-win relationship. To build the Silk Road Economic Belt, we need to release the role of some international organizations, balance the relationship between economic exchanges and political mutual trust, coordinate the construction of roads and other infrastructure, and create a safe, harmonious, clean, and efficient environment.
