In Uzbekistan in June 2016, Xi suggested partner countries deepen cooperation on environmental protection, intensify ecological preservation and build a green Silk Road.
"We need to deepen cooperation in medical care and health, strengthen win-win cooperation in the alert of communicable diseases, disease prevention and control, medical assistance and traditional medicine, and build a Silk Road for health," the president said.
Meanwhile, on human resources cooperation, China proposed a vocational skills cooperation alliance to train and produce professionals in various fields to build an intelligent Silk Road.
On the security front, the president called for fostering a security governance model with Asian features and building a Silk Road for peace.
