Utilising Sino-Penang people-to-people relationship history to expand BRI people-to-people bonds

According to the “Encyclopedia on the Belt and Road Initiative: What is People-to-People Bond?” published by the Regional Openness Department under China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), People-to-People Bond is one of the five cooperation priorities of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

This pillar goes beyond cultural exchange and seeks to cultivate mutual understanding, trust, and friendship among countries and regions along the BRI routes through cultural, educational, academic, and humanitarian exchanges.
