Austria, the birthplace of music masters such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert and Franz Haydn, has a music tradition attracting Chinese students who aspire to study music. Many Austrian music masters have gained great recognition in China, with their works incorporated into Chinese curriculum of music education institutions. The Belt and Road Initiative, introduced by China in 2013, has received positive responses and continued support from Austria. In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in cultural exchanges between the two countries, with music playing a crucial role in strengthening their mutual bond. (Xinhua/Chen Zhonghao)

(231010) -- BEIJING, Oct. 10, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on May 12, 2023 shows a freight train running near Almaty in Kazakhstan. In 2013, China proposed the idea of building an "economic belt along the Silk Road" in Kazakhstan, which, combined with the proposal of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, eventually became the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The China-Kazakhstan (Lianyungang) logistics cooperation base, launched in 2014, is the first entity project under the BRI. Acting as a dry port in the Horgos-Eastern Gate special economic zone and the Western China-Western Europe international transport corridor, it has become an important platform for products from Central Asian countries to reach seaports.
