The Fuzhou Silk Road ASEAN Economic and Cultural Exchange Center and China-Indonesia "Two Countries, Twin Parks" Scientific and Technological Innovation Center were unveiled at the event.

Positioned in Fujian province and serving ASEAN markets, the Fuzhou Silk Road ASEAN Economic and Cultural Exchange Center operates under an integrated model that combines resource coordination, industrial collaboration, and outbound service support. It is designed to facilitate the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
