we will understand Chinese culture better
The "Belt and Road" Youth Sports Exchange Week will be held regularly in Jiangsu in the future, so that more international youths will experience Jiangsu’s modernization, feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture, and convey to the world the Silk Road spirit of "peaceful cooperation, openness and tolerance, mutual learning, mutual benefit and win-win".

The most important thing
for people-to-people exchanges
is to compliment each other’s beauty
To spread the true feelings
across mountains and seas
we use sports as a link
to build a new platform
for our friendship and cooperation
