The event aimed to establish a global center for Mazu culture, and promote mutual learning among global civilisations. Apart from that, the event served as a bridge in implementing the Belt and Road Initiative by uniting the efforts of the countries and regions along the Maritime Silk Road and people from all walks of life around the world. The stage and platform set by the forum and festival will provide us unprecedented opportunities to tap into the complementarity of Fiji and China’s diverse resources, upgrading cooperation in trade, investment, cultural exchange and tourism cooperation in the future.
