Co-hosted by China Media Group and the People's Government of Guangdong Province, this year's forum in Zhuhai is focusing on the achievements of the Province in becoming a major gateway linking China with the rest of the world.

Under the theme of "New Era, New Silk Road, New Image", the forum looks back at past achievements in the region and looks forward to the work being done in Guangdong to advance the development of the Belt and Road Initiative.

There will be discussions on the role of the province as part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and on opportunities to improve regional integration.
