2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the China-proposed 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR). To accentuate the plan's cross-cultural scope, an MSR film festival was launched for the first time in Quanzhou, East China's Fujian Province on July 3. CGTN sat down with Lu Cairong, vice president of China International Communications Group (CICG). According to Lu, the event will actively contribute to deepening international documentary exchanges and collaborations and foster the development of the international documentary industry.
