Lu Yuhong, vice-president of Shanxi University (SXU), participated in the 2nd Belt and Road Fah-hian Culture International Summit held in Xiangyuan county -- in Changzhi city, North China's Shanxi province on Oct 23-24.

A traveler and translator, Shanxi-born Fah-hian (AD334-420) was a vital figure in the development of Buddhism in China. Fah-hian's journey to India in search of Buddhist sutras in AD 402 initiated Sino-Indian relations and his writings contain important information about early Buddhism. After returning to China, he translated into Chinese many Sanskrit Buddhist texts that he brought back.

The forum discussed the cultural and economic transformation and development in response to the normalized novel coronavirus epidemic prevention and control situation.

It cited Fah-hian Culture as a valuable link to strengthen economic and trade exchanges with countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative -- as well as to establish in-depth connections with well-known domestic private enterprises, so as to promote investments, opening-up and socioeconomic development.
