Turkmenistan to take part in the International Tourism Exhibition "Silk Road in Xi'an-2024"
08.08.2024Turkmenistan will take part in the International Tourism Exhibition "Silk Road in Xi'an-2024", which will be held from 9 to 11 August in the Chinese city of Xi'an. The Turkmen delegation is headed by Head of the Tourism Department of the Ministry of Culture of Turkmenistan Akyniyaz Agamuradov. It is symbolic that the city of Xi'an has been chosen as the venue of the forum. This major industrial, business, cultural, educational and tourist centre of the People's Republic of China in ancient times was the starting point and destination point of trade caravans that passed along the Great Silk Road through Central Asia, connecting China and the states of the region. The city of Xi'an is twinned with the Turkmen city of Mary, through which the route of this legendary caravan route ran. The relevant Agreement on this was signed in May 2014.
