"I think that there should be more art cooperation programs like this so as to bring the peoples of the two countries closer together, and the peoples can enjoy cultural features of each other," she said.

Chinese famous baritone Liao Changyong told Xinhua that "Music is borderless. It is expected that such performance will help deepen understanding between the two peoples, especially among the youth.

The show will promote cultural exchanges among countries along the 'Belt and Road'." "This show also set foundation for further cooperation between the two sides in cultural area.

Next year, the Shanghai International Music Festival may choose the theme ' The Maritime Silk Road' and invite artists from Southeast Asian countries to China," Liao said.

The show featured art repertoire including dancing, singing, acrobatic and musical instrumental performances.
