With Merna in Xi'an: Where the Silk Road meets the SCO

In Xi'an, the ancient capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province and the starting point of the Silk Road, CGTN's Merna Al Nasser explores the Shaanxi Archaeology Museum to uncover how artifacts tell the story of China's long history of connecting with the world. From intricate designs that blend Chinese craftsmanship with global influences to modern restoration projects carried out with partners in Kazakhstan and other Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) countries, the narrative shows that cultural dialogue is not only rooted in the past but also alive today. These exchanges preserve history while strengthening the spirit of cooperation and friendship across civilizations.
