Xi’an, China (15 October 2024) – In a significant step toward enhancing global cooperation on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Institute for Overseas Safety and Security (OSS) at the International Collaboration Mechanism Center at NTS-PD, Zheijian University, and the South Asia Foresight Network (SAFN) in Washington, D.C., have agreed to establish a dedicated BRI Center at SAFN in Washington, D.C.

The initiative was officially launched following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between OSS and SAFN on 17 October 2023 in Beijing.
