I would like to express my appreciation to China NGO Network for International Exchanges(CN1E)for inviting me to attend the 2nd Silk Road NGO Cooperation Network Forum.Two days ago,I had the privilege to attend the opening ceremony of the 2nd Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation(BRF)and listen to the keynote speech by Chinese President Xi Jinping,which furthers my understanding of the Belt and Road Initiative.Being part of the Thematic Forum on People-to-people Connectivity of the BRF offers me a good learning opportunity.
